9. Tripartite National Conference on Green Jobs: The Way Forward

   26 September 2011

   It is critical that Asia adapts to the effects of climate change. The region’s vulnerability to climate change and climate variability is dictated by its unique physical and socioeconomic attributes, including high population density, relatively low income levels for a large part of the population, and the prominence of agriculture and fishing in providing livelihoods for the rural poor. So, these countries require well developed and gender sensitive climate adaptation related green jobs programs that will bring significant social and employment benefits at the local level for both women and men.

11. Green Jobs: The Facts

    26 September 2011

    Green Jobs – Good Jobs: A Dual Challenge The emergence of Green Jobs has become emblematic of the world’s determination to develop a more sustainable global economy and society that preservers the environment for present and future generations and is more equitable and inclusive of all people and countries. The ILO’s Constituents in Bangladesh – the government, worker and employer organizations – have responded enthusiastically to this opportunity to equate green jobs to productive and sustainable decent work that will benefit all. The Australian Government – ILO Partnership Agreement (2010 – 2015), in its supporting role, has identified the Green Jobs in Asia programme as a positive step toward such a just transition as part of the broader goal of improving the lives of vulnerable people in Bangladesh – and across Asia and the Pacific.

    Understanding Children's Work Country Report in Bangladesh

    01 July 2011

    The Government of Bangladesh has accorded the fight against child labour a prominent place in its national development agenda and has made a number of important commitments in this area. There is a wide range of on-going Government, bilateral, multilateral and NGO interventions of relevance to child labour in Bangladesh. But important gaps still persist. The critical challenge moving forward is to extend current efforts within a unified strategic framework to ensure that they effectively address child labour. The current report aims to help inform national efforts against child labour. The report presents evidence concerning the extent, nature, causes and consequences of child labour, and, on this basis, identifies key policy priorities moving forward.

14. Skills for Green Jobs in Bangladesh

    09 June 2011

    Skills for green jobs are instrumental in bringing about the desired change and are inseparable from sustainable development. Bangladesh has embarked on several policies and programmes for adaptation to climate change and mitigation of its adverse impact, but it has no policy for the formation and development of skills for greening the economy.A coherent policy for the formation and development of skills for green jobs in all the potential sectors should be put in place and implemented. The paper argues that for greening the economy, the policy should target the implementation of the skills needs for green jobs in various sectors as identified by the present study and incorporate them into the occupational profiles, curriculum design and education and training provision for greening existing occupations and for developing emerging and new green occupations and embody strategic interventions.
