4. Identification of occupations in economic activities with high potential of adopting cleaner technologies Selected some economic activities that have been named at the Mackinsey report (2008) (agriculture, building, oil and gas, chemicals, energy, ironworks and waste treatment). The McKinsey report identifies a range of technologies as having greater opportunities for mitigation. Based on this list of economic activities and cleaner technologies, we consulted specialists on the occupations that could suffer the impacts resulted from the diffusion of such technologies National Service for Industrial Apprenticeship

6. Green economic activities within Brazilian economy Economic activities associated with the generation, transmission and distribution of cleaner energy; ex: generation, transmission and distribution of electric energy, manufacturers of equipments for distribution and control of electrical energy Economic activities related to environmental quality; cleaning and distributing water, activities in botanic and zoological gardens, national parks. Economic activities to avoid costs; ex: treatment and disposal of waste (dangerous or not), recycling metallic, plastic and other materials; maintenance of vehicles. Economic activities associated with fuels based on renewable sources; ethanol or biofuels Economic activities associated with changes in transport matrix; manufacture locomotives, wagons and other rail material, bicycles and rail cargos. Economic activities associated with sequestration of carbon dioxide; forest production – reforest process, production of seeds and seedling, as well as other forms of certified vegetal propagation.

7. Considering the investments under the Program of Action for Growth and Multi-Year Investment Plan (both from the federal government sphere) in sectors associated with a low carbon economy, those that will present sound growth over the next 5 years are the ones whose foundations lie on cleaner energy and fuels based on renewable sources. Furthermore, it is estimated that the recycling sector (classified as avoided costs) National Service for Industrial Apprenticeship

9. Analyze of occupations tending to absorb displaced workers as a result of the introduction of cleaner technologies. Employments belonging to occupational groups created by the growth of green economy are bound to be fulfilled by the workers displaced from occupations affected by the dissemination of cleaner technologies. The groups presenting similar patterns of mobility in the labor market – or sharing the same set of skills and abilities – could have priority in the retraining.

11. Skills for innovation In a low carbon economy it’s necessary to create and diffuse cleaner technology. Specialists agree that most innovations will be based on nano and biotechnology (increasing open innovation model?). It’s important bring together the roles of the institutional and organizational dimensions in the process of innovation (Coriat and Weinstein, 2009) Establish a process of knowledge governance utilizing networks like ILO/Cinterfor and improve relationships: institutions of VET, firms, workers and government.
