On 4 July 2024, seven Zambian public service unions affiliated to PSI met to prepare for an engagement with the Ministry of Green Economy. On 18 July 2024, these Public Service Trade Unions visited the Ministry and submitted their policy position paper on Climate Change and Employment. This action aimed to secure their participation in Climate Governance and Policy Planning at the Ministry of Green Economy and Environment as key stakeholders. The unions emphasized the need for a just transition to a sustainable economy that protects workers' rights and ensures strong social protection programmes.
