ILC and OATUU Delegates Support the “Green Homeland”
Campaign by Adopting Saplings

Delegates of the International Labour Confederation (ILC) and the Organisation
of African Trade Union Unity (OATUU), who participated in the high-level strate-
gic meeting held in Istanbul on 11 November 2025, extended their support to
the “Breathe for the Future, for a Green Homeland” campaign organized by the
Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry of the Republic of Türkiye.
As part of the initiative, each delegate symbolically adopted a sapling in their
name. This meaningful gesture aimed to strengthen environmental awareness
and underscore the labour movement’s commitment to ecological responsibi-
lity.
ILC Secretary-General Hamza Öksüz stated, “The struggle for labour is not li-
mited to securing fair working conditions; it also includes the responsibility to
leave behind a livable world. Every sapling planted today stands as a symbol of
solidarity that will breathe life into the future.”

The saplings adopted under the Ministry’s Green Homeland Initiative will cont-
ribute to expanding Türkiye’s forest resources and to the global fight against
climate change.

Through this significant act, ILC and OATUU delegates fulfilled their shared
responsibility toward nature and future generations, delivering a powerful mes-
sage: “You Became a Breath for the Future, for a Green Homeland!”
