2024 HLPF side event: Delivering on the Promise of Migration for the Green Transition

Co-organised by IOE, IOM and the World Bank

In the context of the 2024 High Level Political Forum for Sustainable Development (HLPF), the International Organization for Migration (IOM) is organising a side event on “Delivering on the Promise of Migration for the Green Transition: Leveraging Labour Pathways to Boost Green Skills, Jobs and Economies”, with the World Bank (WB) and the International Organisation of Employers (IOE) as co-hosts.

This side event will be held under the official programme of the 2024 HLPF on Wednesday 10 July from 09:00 to 10:30 (Eastern Daylight Time), online.

The transition to a more sustainable economy coincides with profound shifts in demographics and labour markets, resulting in skills and labour gaps. At the same time, the accelerating transition towards low-carbon emission societies amid rising climate risks is shifting the demand for greener and more sustainable jobs. 

In the context of the HLPF’s review of SDGs 13 and 17, this side event will gather representatives from Member States, the UN, private sector and civil society to discuss the vision and practical solutions for regular pathways that harness the potential of migration to reduce disruptions of labour market changes and sustain the green transition.
