Item Summary

“This study report is being published with the financial support of Rosa Luxemburg Stiftung – South Asia, with funds of the Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development of the Federal Republic of Germany. “

“The study examines diverse perspectives and approaches to Just Transition, spanning from the status-quoist to transformative paradigms. It provides an analysis of the features characterising the garment value chain and the garment sector in India, spot-lighting gaps and challenges related to decent work deficits, occupational health and hazards, environmental impacts stemming from the sector, and reliance on cheap labour.”

“Furthermore, the study maps out various proposals, schemes, and initiatives originating from authorities, businesses, and international institutions that aim to promote environmental sustainability and decent work. It delves into the challenges and opportunities presented by a series of due diligence and sustainability-related legislations coming from the Global North. While acknowledging their limitations and exclusions, the study discusses the possibility of leveraging such legislations by labour leaders and environmental activists, in promoting an effective Just Transition agenda for the garment sector, all while steadfastly adhering to a radical, transformative approach to Just Transition.”
