As economic transitions accelerate, the challenge is not only how economies transform, but how these transformations are governed. This webinar explores emerging insights from the Trade and Labour Programme and introduces a forthcoming policy tool designed to help policymakers better align trade and labour strategies for more inclusive outcomes.

The Trade and Labour Programme convenes stakeholders across trade and labour research, policy and practice to examine how economic, digital and climate transitions can deliver more just and inclusive outcomes. Through fieldwork, multistakeholder dialogue, and policy engagement, the programme is building momentum for a global trade system that is socially responsive, economically resilient, and fit for the future of work, and the future of working together.
