Green TVET training

Green Technical-Vocational Education and Training (TVET) Forum

In order to reduce global warming, the Philippines has to transition to a green economy which in principle, implies creating green jobs and developing green skills. But this transition can mean that some Filipinos would get displaced, and may even lose their jobs and would be left behind. This means ensuring that vulnerable groups such as the rural and urban poor, the indigenous people, and marginalized groups are addressed in the green transition.

A green transition entails a whole of government and whole of country approach. It is a technical, economic and social and political process. This is translated in the form of the inter-agency meetings and multi-stakeholder consultations. The green shift must be in line with sustainable development goals and must ensure national competitiveness, and enable flexibility and scalabilty.
