National Alliance for Just Transition Bangladesh: Advancing a Worker-Led Transition

On 28 February 2026, National Trade Union Centres SKOP (Sramik Karmachari Oikya Parishad) and Sectoral Trade Union Platform IBC (IndustriALL Bangladesh Council) convened a strategic sharing meeting to operationalize the National Alliance for Just Transition – Bangladesh.

Creating a Worker-Led Platform

The gathering was a big step toward establishing NAJTB as a national platform run by labor organizations and employees. In order to promote unified lobbying on climatic, environmental, and technology transitions, participants agreed on a 2026 action plan and established the alliance structure.

Key Messages

Workers’ rights and livelihoods must be safeguarded, and everyone must have decent work.
Universal social insurance and living wages are crucial for protecting workers amid changes.
Participation of trade unions in national processes, such as development and climate policy, must be significant.
Ensuring inclusive, rights-based, and socially equitable transitions requires collective action.

Emerging from the momentum of the Dhaka Declaration 2025, NAJTB reflects a growing commitment to transform Just Transition from a concept into a structured, worker-led national movement in Bangladesh.
