In the past years, the ILO has noted a growing demand among its member states for guidance on green jobs. Not only policy makers, but also trade unionists and private sector representatives are increasingly interested in constructing and realizing tangible, result-oriented strategies for green enterprises and green jobs.

In order to address this demand, the ILO has developed assessment methodologies to be applied at national and sectoral level. These assessments allow analysing, among others, the scope and investment needs for green sector development, the creation and expansion potential of sustainable enterprises and value chains and the national and sectoral needs for skills for green jobs.

The results of the assessments feed into the formulation of national policies that support the creation of decent work and green jobs in the transition to the green economy. ILO assessments have been carried out, among others, in Brazil, Bangladesh, China, Gaza Strip, Lebanon, Mauritius and Mexico.
