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.

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.
