Abstract

How can SDGs contribute to the promotion of labour rights? Tonia Novitz argues that the rights of workers may, in principle, benefit from being embedded in a wider sustainability discourse. However, the text of the SDGs makes it nearly impossible to achieve transformational justice within and between generations. (Also translated into Dutch and published in MO*Magazine (https://www.mo.be/wereldblog/de-duurzaamheid-van-arbeidsrechten-en-beperkingen-van-sdg-s).
