Reorientation of industrial and agricultural processes and technologies should be accompanied by adequate training and retraining programmes for workers in order to avoid loss of employment or lack of qualified labour resulting from these changes. (p) Developing countries should be assisted in meeting the obligations of existing and future international agreements on global environmental problems. Such assistance could include having technology assessment centres in industrialized countries give attention to their requests and needs.
