On the occasion of the celebration of the 100th anniversary of the International Labour Organization and in the lead up to the Climate Action Summit 2019 , we are pleased to invite you to the sixth iteration of the “So What?” Series. Addressing Decent Work (SDG 8) and Climate Change (SDG 13), this event will be co-hosted by the SDG Lab, the International Labour Organization (ILO) and the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN), in partnership with the International Institute for Sustainable Development (IISD). Experts and policy makers will exchange on the interactions of both goals, as well as provide with concrete examples of their implementation on the ground for better sustainable development outcomes.
