"The ecological transition presents significant challenges within the field of human rights, particularly for workers, ethnic minorities, displaced persons, and, more generally, vulnerable groups. The "greening of human rights" has influenced labour legislation, focusing on green jobs as part of the concept of decent work within the framework of the sustainable economy. Although this is an emerging area within labour law, the interactions between work and the environment have been explored in labour studies through an environmental cross-disciplinary methodology, which seeks to improve workers' lives while simultaneously protecting the environment. Health, well-being, and work are interconnected, as established in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and the Planetary Health Commission. However, workers are often the first to bear the brunt of the effects of climate change, facing new occupational risks such as heatwaves, vector, biological, and ergonomic hazards arising from the environmental transition. Enhancing occupational health could contribute to planetary well-being, and vice versa, by harnessing the synergies that both disciplines find within their respective guiding principles."
