GDP

Between 1999 and 2015 GDP grew by almost 80 per cent, real wages improved by 42 per cent, child labour fell and labour force participation increased. To some extent, economic growth has translated into improvements in decent work.

Another model of development is possible: 23 countries have seen their economies grow and their emissions and footprints decline

Achieving environmental sustainability is urgent from the perspective of the world of work

Yet it is unsustainable. Since the 1970s humanity uses more resources than are renewed each year. In 2015, humanity used 1.7 times more resources than could be renewed that year. *Global Footprint Network 2017 National Footprint Accounts.

1.2 billionjobs depend on services provided by the environment

18 millionjobs can be created by achieving sustainability in the energy sector

23 millionworking life years have been lost to disasters annually since 2000

Promoting sustainability in agriculture will change rural economies.

Policies can advance a transition that is also just:

Environmental degradation enhances inequalities

The equivalent to 72 millionfull-time jobs will be lost in 2030 due to heat stress
