The overall objectives of the session will be to provide the audience with an overview of the Fund's new strategy, including achievements, challenges, and strategic priorities.

Unsafe and unhealthy working conditions often result from a combination of underlying causes, such as governance gaps, a deficient legislative framework, insufficient knowledge and resources, and unsustainable business practices.

Since the establishment of the Vision Zero Fund (VZF) in 2015, much progress has been made in relation to improving workers' occupational safety and health (OSH). However, despite these successes and achievements, much work still needs to be done.

The objective of this fourth session of the Vision Zero Fund Forum is to (i) have a general discussion on the nexus between climate change and OSH and effective adaptation strategies; (ii) present the work VZF has been conducting on the health and safety of agricultural workers in Mexico; and (iii) inform the audience on the role OSH can play in a just transition.
