The groundbreaking Climate Law adopted at the end of August 2021
contains provisions that modify certain human resources management
practices: the law to combat climate change, which involves trade
unions and works councils in the ecological transition.
Firstly, the climate law inserts the theme of the environment
into the three-yearly periodic negotiations on the forward-looking
management of jobs and skills (GPEC). From now on, these
supplementary negotiations on GPEC at branch and company level will
have to take into account the challenges of the ecological
transition on jobs and skills. The objective is to make companies
aware of the need to reconvert their activities and transform their
professions in the context of the ecological transition.
