Green Jobs and Green Skills in a Brown Philippine Economy is Dr. Rene Ofreneo's contribution to a multicountry global study on the skills and education dimensions of the greening processes in the global economy organized by the International Labour Office and the UN Environmental Programme. As the Philippines is faced with two environmental tasks, i.e., to minimize the adverse impact of climate change (through mitigation and adaptation programs) and to restore its heavily degraded environment, communities and industries are encouraged to create more green jobs through the emerging green sectors (e.g., renewable energy, recycling, reforestation, etc.). This book shows how a green alignment of education and training activities can support the level and skills requirements of green/er industries, as reflected in the case studies of a copper smelter, a fast-food chain, a bioethanol plant, and an organic agriculture farm.

A ‘green economy’ must be built on ‘green jobs’ - the kind of employment that is low carbon, intended to reduce energy use and expected to restore environmental quality. But attempts to define exactly what a ‘green job’ is have led to varied and often contradictory answers. There are many unresolved questions including whether we consider jobs in the nuclear fuel industry to be green jobs? Or is a worker at a glass making company which supplies the glass for the solar photovoltaic industry doing a green job given that glass making is a ‘dirty’ industry? This book deals with the relationship between "green" concepts (green jobs, green economy, green growth) and sustainable development. It examines to which extent creation of green jobs supports overall economic development as opposed to creation of elitist jobs and greenwashing. In order to do so, general conceptual frameworks for green jobs, green economy, green growth and green policy are presented as well as their implementation in ten countries selected among the Group of Twenty. The selection includes advanced (the European Union, the United States of America, Australia, Canada, Republic of Korea, Japan) and developing countries (Mexico, China, Turkey and Brazil). The analysis presented in this book shows that although green concept is well-intentioned, its implementation depends on local circumstances – economic, political and social. Developed countries perceive green growth as a way to create new markets and demand, while developing countries rely more on labor intensive growth and less expensive green jobs. Thus, greening the economy does not diminish differences between rich and poor. This book is suitable for those who study and work in Ecological Economics, Sustainable Development and Labor Economics.

The shift to a green economy is increasing the pace of change in labour markets and skill needs. This study of 21 countries, which represent 60 per cent of the world population, shows that economies moving towards greener production can seize the potential for job creation if they deal effectively with the coming structural change and transformation of existing jobs. The report examines the experiences of developed and developing countries in adjusting their training provision to meet new demand of a greener economy. It shows that while few new occupations emerge in the transition to greener work, massive change occurs in existing occupations. What is more, changes in skill profiles happen at all levels of qualifications and across all sectors, and require action to make the provision of education and training relevant to labour market needs. While the net employment effects of greening the economy are estimated to be positive, carbon-intensive industries are expected to lose jobs. Successful transitions from old to new, greener industries and occupations will require efficient retraining and skills upgrading. A key element of the transformation must be to target training initiatives to segments of the population typically at a disadvantage in the labour market. Skills development is critical to unlocking the employment potential of green growth, yet skills policies and environmental policies are still often dealt with in isolation from one another. To avoid future skill shortages, the report recommends that countries devise strategies based on well-informed policy decisions, social dialogue, and coordination among ministries and between employers and training providers.

Education for Sustainable Development (ESD) and Disaster Risk Reduction Education (DRRE) have overlapping areas of concern focusing on strengthening the link to local communities. In reality, there is significant synergy in ESD and disaster risk reduction (DRR). Both concepts urge looking at the communities, both focus on behavior changes and both call for linking knowledge to action. The Decade of Education for Sustainable Development (DESD) ends in 2014 and the Hyogo Framework for Action (HFA) ends in 2015. Therefore, at this junction, it is important to review the progress made over the past 10 years and to suggest future synergy options. This book is the first attempt to review these two emerging fields and to provide input to the future direction of education. The book has 11 chapters, drawing lessons mainly from Japan and discussing their implications for the world. The first four chapters provide an overview of the ESD–DRR linkage, ESD and its evolution, DRRE and Climate Change Education. These are followed by case studies from ESD practices in Japan, in schools, universities and communities. The primary target groups for this book are students and researchers in the fields of environment, disaster risk reduction and climate change studies. The book provides them with a good idea of the current research trends in the field and furnishes basic knowledge about these vital topics. Another target group comprises practitioners and policy makers, who will be able to apply the knowledge collected here to establishing policy and making decisions.

The mapping study will examine the linkages between the environment and the economy and the implications for the labour market of climate change. The report will contribute to building a common understanding of the linkages between economic, social and environmental policies in the Philippines. It will provide qualitative and quantitative information on the number and types of green jobs in key sectors of the economy with the intention of estimating actual green jobs in existing industries, based on available published data and substantiated by consultations and actual surveys. The final result of this mapping study will establish baseline figures which may be used as a basis to draft appropriate economic and social policies to further promote green jobs.

As early as 1990, the first report of the IPCC (Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change) alerted us on the harmful effect of human activity on climate change and global warming. 32 years later, these predictions are confirmed, and our lives are impacted. Natural disasters follow one another, destroying lives, businesses, jobs and pushing people to migrate. Aware of the risks, the international community has organized and mobilized to fight against climate change and try to contain average global warming notably. The Paris climate agreement was adopted in December 2015. The same year, world leaders, adopted the 17 sustainable development goals (SDGs) to end poverty, protect the planet and ensure prosperity for all. Goal 8 aims to promote inclusive and sustainable economic growth, employment, and decent work for all. The promotion of green jobs is at the heart of this objective. The transition to the green economy will inevitably involve destruction of some jobs, but in the same time, the creation of new ones. The ILO estimate that about 100 million new jobs can potentially be created by 2030, leading to a net job creation of 25 million jobs. It is therefore essential to prepare for it by supporting professional transitions. Many young people, aware of climate issues, wish to contribute to the necessary transformation of our economies by moving towards green professions. However, they often lack knowledge on the green economy. The objective of this guide is to provide young people, job seekers and those who support them with useful information to build their professional goals plan, either as an employee of the green economy, or by creating their own job in a sustainable entrepreneurship approach.

The book relates three years of history of social movements from Asia and Europe who work on social justice, as a rough overview. The work for the book is mainly done on the ground, day after day, working in villages and cities, with people and their organisations, organising resistance and preparing alternatives. It is based on the fact that European and Asian concerns are identical, in spite of divergent levels of development and wealth, and that the existing international initiatives, such as the ILO’s social protection floors, or the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals are perfectly compatible with neoliberal policies. The book goes beyond and sees social commons as a strategic tool for transforming societies. It is basically a project for the sustainability of life, of humans, of societies, and of nature. The book describes the ideas at the basis of the work in different sectors. It is not about the practice of social policies but about the ideas and discourses that can in the end shape the political practices. In sum, this book, presents a new social paradigm. It concretely shows how social justice and environmental justice do go hand in hand.
