Moving Towards A Green Economy: Green Jobs And Social Inclusion European GCLNs

“Climate change is the greatest collective challenge that we have ever faced. It is destroying our only planet at an accelerating pace.” (Angel Gurrнa, OECD Secretary-General).

World crisis implications: Human welfare Unemployment Poverty, and Environmental impacts

Green economy concept Response to the multiple crises A promise of growth while protecting the earth’s ecosystems Contributing to poverty alienation

Greening of existing industries Reducing the environmental impacts of processes and products through using resources more efficiently Creating new green industries Green economy agenda

Effecting on employment Additional jobs will be created Some employment will be substituted Certain jobs may be eliminated without direct replacement Many existing jobs will simply be transformed and redefined as day-to- day skill sets

Towards a Green Economy A green job shall be a descent job – social inclusion Meeting the needs of the future generations - a change in production and consumption patterns

Key challenges Realigning priorities – according to the scale, urgency, and long-term perspective of the public agenda emerging in response to the climate challenge Job losses mitigation – pro-active policies that assist in this transition by way of retraining, skill-building, income support and social protection

Key challenges Decent work promotion – overcoming the extremely poor practices, exposing workers to hazardous substances that endanger their health and lives Skill availability – deficits in management skills and technical job-specific skills

Key challenges Addressing unsustainable consumption patterns – distribution of Incomes worldwide and within countries Alleviating poverty – opportunities for economic development and poverty alleviation without liquidating or eroding A country’s natural assets

This is only the beginning …

Discussion questions What steps can the private sector take – independently and in collaboration with the public sector – to realize the transition to a green economy? Can green jobs be considered as adequate tools to realize a more sustainable and inclusive economy?
