Launched in 2007, a Global Green Jobs Initiative mobilizes governments, workers and employers to engage with each other to develop coherent policies and effective programmes that lead to a green economy. The Green Jobs idea combines the thrusts of Decent Work and Environmental Sustainability.
In the Philippines, Green Jobs-related initiatives are aimed at enhancing dialogue to green the workplace through a Greener Business Asia Project as well as adaptation approaches for climate-resilient farming communities through a UN MDG Fund Joint Programme on Climate Change Adaptation.
