About the Event

The recent years have seen the increased interest and clamor in the Asian region to ensure that progress and development in the region integrates both economic and environmental considerations with benefits for all. Similarly, the Asian region is leading the world as the region with the best green jobs outlook if investments and policy reforms are realized. According to the ILO (2018a), up to 14.2 million net green jobs can be achieved by 2030. But the jobs will not be generated automatically, we must learn to recognize the opportunities and design strategic policies and interventions, driven by respective for the environment and the Decent Work Agenda.

Climate change impacts, degradation of environment and natural resources are among those challenges that affects economies, enterprises, and societies as a whole. The additional stress of the pandemic further exposed vulnerabilities that can make these impacts worse. In order to redirect the focus on taking advantage of opportunities and managing risks and negative impacts, skills development is a key component of response measures during the critical period of transition and recovery.

The ILO/Japan Multi-bilateral Programme, through its project, Industry Skills for Inclusive Growth Phase 2 (InSIGHT2), finds it timely to provide a thematic platform for a sub-regional dialogue, and knowledge sharing among the ILO constituents and key partners in the region. Co-organized with the ILO Asia-Pacific Green Jobs Network under the Climate for Action on Jobs Initiative, the web meeting participants will be engaged in discussions around responses to emerging challenges associated with industry's green transitions that will have repercussion to jobs, skills requirements, livelihoods, and the world of work in general.
