CHALLENGES ON
IMPLEMENTATION
OF GREEN ECONOMY

CHALLENGE 1 : SKILL SHORTAGES ARE

ALREADY HAMPERING THE TRANSITION
TO GREENER ECONOMIES

Lack of growth estimates and low labor demand, especially

in the technology - driven green sector

Lack of skills - often arises when projects are carried out

without adequate provision for skills development.

Lack of efficient coordination - investment in the green

economy and investment in skills can lead to a lack of
relevant green job skills

Many countries lack sufficient teachers and trainers in

environmental awareness and specialist areas such as
renewable energy.
 CHALLENGE 2 : SKILLS AND ENVIRONMENTAL
POLICIES NEED TO COME TOGETHER

Few have put in place the skills development strategies

needed to implement them

In the least developed countries, skills development strategies

are rarely included in national climate change adaptation plans.
CHALLENGE 3 : GREEN STRUCTURAL CHANGE
WILL BE PROFOUND IN CERTAIN SECTORS

High carbon emitting sectors are most likely to be negatively

affected by green structural changes
> mining
> forestry and agriculture

The role of employment services in matching skills and jobs in

retraining workers and jobseekers is important.

The automobile industry: a key industry to face significant change.

government policy now includes mandatory standards for fuel

consumption, reduced taxes and duties for vehicles with lower CO2
emissions.
 CHALLENGE 4 : OCCUPATIONS WILL
CHANGE AT DIFFERENT RATES AND IN
DIFFERENT WAYS AS ECONOMIES GO
GREENER

Where new occupations are created they often call for

higher-level

Good communication skills are also needed so that

workers in different sectors can work together effectively
towards green solutions.

In the green building sector, for example, the ability to

work with other trades is critical to improving a building’s
energy efficien
Challenge 5: Skills Required In A Greener Economy Need To Be Identified

Most countries have hitherto relied on qualitative data gathered through enterprise surveys, occupational
research or consultation with experts.

Skill needs in a greening economy are usually first identified at the level of individual enterprises, which are
quick to respond to new regulations or technologies that affect specific jobs or change markets.

Developing countries often have much less elaborate systems for anticipating skill needs, and tend to create
a parallel system of analysis running alongside the existing training system and/or labour market
information system, or conduct one-off surveys.

 Challenge 6: Appropriate Training Needs
To Be Put In Place Promptly

Training systems need to respond quickly, as demand

changes fast.
Government-sponsored training programmes have proved
valuable, notably where they take advantage of formal
education and training systems with well-established flows of
information between industries and training institutions.
General schooling and university systems have tended to
respond well to new demands, but in many countries
institutions offering technical and vocational training have Training

SOLUTION ON
CHALLENGES
 SOLUTION 1 : IMPROVE POLICY
COORDINATION AT PLANNING DESIGN &
IMPLEMENTATION STAGES

understand the corresponding green transformative potential

jobs needs in education and training

include social partners in skills development

forming a task force for human resource development for

economic greening; incorporate training and skills issues into a
council

Clear assignments are also an important part not only of

planning but also of execution.
SOLUTION 2 : FOCUS ON RETRAINING
AND THE DEVELOPMENT OF
PORTABLE SKILLS TO ENCOURAGE
OCCUPTIONAL MOBILITY

commit resources to retraining and focus on developing mobile skills.

training courses tailored to the needs of employers

Skills form the basis for future employability through early education
and training, and enabling employees to adapt to new skill
requirements all the time their work life.
SOLUTION 3 : PRIORITIZE TRAINING FOR
DISADVANTAGED GROUPS

The growth dividend offered by the greening of the economy will

only be fully realized if training is made accessible to
disadvantaged youth, people with disabilities, rural communities
and other vulnerable groups.

Newly emerging occupations are not burdened by a

history of gender stereotyping and segregation, they
offer a unique opportunity to break existing gender
barriers.
SOLUTION 4 : ENABLE TRAINERS
AND TEACHERS TO KEEP SKILLS
FOR GREEN JOBS UP TO DATE

The availability of teachers and trainers with current

knowledge on the environment and green
technologies is crucial.

Their role is critical in promoting environmental

awareness among young people and in spreading
environmental training beyond the formal system of
education by reaching out into the adult population.
 SOLUTION 5 :IMPROVE SYSTEMS FOR
IDENTIFYING AND ANTICIPATING SKILL
NEEDS

this need represents an opportunity to put in place the

beginnings of structures such as a national human resource
development council involving government, employers, workers
and providers of training and education, to facilitate the
exchange of information, and to establish industry groupings
that could later be formalized as sectoral skills councils
 SOLUTION 6 :: TARGET SKILL NEEDS THROUGH
SOCIAL DIALOGUE

Bringing trade unions and employers’

associations into the planning

Industries and enterprises, a successful In fact, only in this way can potentially
transition to greener work will depend on the severe economic and social adjustment

CONCLUSION

As conclusion, we must produce more skillfull generations

with knowledge in order to achieve green economy.The
major challenge that faced by a lot of country is skill
shortages and less employee. The government need to
planning efficiently to resolve the challenges as example
hold a lot of campaigns and any other activities that
contained green economy knowledges. The communities
also need to be involved as their presence really give impact
to the result of green economy.
