Decent work in renewable energy and critical mineral supply chains: Trends, challenges and innovations in Asia and the Pacific

Based on research on nickel supply chains in Indonesia and the Philippines and on the copper supply chain in Mongolia, this new ILO brief highlights that although decent work gaps persist in Asia and the Pacific’s booming renewable energy and critical mineral supply chains, efforts to increase the added value in production are generating more formal, safer and better-paying jobs.

Renewable energy and critical mineral supply chains are undergoing significant expansion driven by worsening climate change and environmental impacts and technological advancements, amid significant geographic concentration. These changes have implications for challenges and opportunities for decent work across regions and segments of the workforce.
