Quel dialogue social pour accompagner la transition écologique ?

This paper aims at sketching what should be, in terms of actors, objects and structures, the evolution of the existing social dialogue in order to contribute to triggering and managing the radical changes needed in the field of environment. Our elaboration takes place in a context of little, if any, existing reflection on the connection between the functionning of the labour markets and the urgent changes needed in production and consumption, beyond the so-called "green" or "greening" jobs and the idea of a corporate social and environmental responsibility. We proceed in three steps. We start from the French situation and briefly asset recent changes (1), then introduce a normative theoretical perspective: the "Transitional Labour Markets" (TLM). Their aim is to build and structure collective capacities of transition and projects in the field of work and employment (2). Last, we discuss major changes in terms of coordination and bargaining targets and levers, in order to yield foundations to a renewed social dialogue, able to actively support public policy efforts and initiatives from the citizens (3)
