Toolkit
Just transition toolkit for knowledge-sharing in chemical and pharmaceutical industries in Asia
Under the “Making Just Transition Work through Stronger Workers’ Organizations in Chemical and Pharmaceutical Industries” project, the ILO releases a "Just Transition Toolkit". The Toolkit looks at how to promote just transition in the chemical and pharmaceutical industries in Asia (with Malaysia and Viet Nam as pilot countries), and aims to provide capacity building and practical advice to workers’ and employers' organizations, government and communities in driving behaviours and practices toward cleaner and safer workplaces and environment.

- environmental and occupational safety and health (OSH) regulations, policy settings and best practices;
- social dialogue processes, experiences and lessons learned; and
- multi-stakeholder initiatives including joint actions/promotional events with communities.
