Project Summary |
As the topic of the 2022 APEC Economic Policy Report on “Structural Reform and a Green Recovery from Economic Shocks” implies, a better platform will be provided for economies to compare green policy approaches and their contribution to inclusive and sustainable growth. As a very important incubator of green development, creating more green jobs now is at the heart of the COVID-19 recovery to facilitate a resilient and sustainable socioeconomic recovery. However, many economies still lack in a holistic and updating policy frameworks and specific policies to support the green jobs development. Workers in the region are also in demand for fostering and sharpening green skills to meet the requirement of green jobs and sustainable socioeconomic recovery.The project objective is to promote capacity building of policymakers in APEC economies by figuring out priority areas, challenges and exploring good practices in human resources development to support green jobs and green skills in the region. Through joint research and international forum, policy recommendations will be proposed to promote the “the structural reform and a green recovery from economic shocks”, which reflects the concern in Policy Paper: Priorities for APEC 2022 Thailand, 2017 APEC strategy for Green, Sustainable and Innovative MSMES and the APEC Putrajaya Vision 2040.

Relevance |
Issues: Green jobs are central to sustainable and resilient development in creating decent jobs, enhancing resource efficiency and helping build a low-carbon sustainable society. After 2008 financial crisis, green jobs rose to the forefront and were expected by governments to play an important role of expanding employment and driving global economic growth. According to the ILO (2018a), up to 14.2 million net green jobs can be created by 2030. The LinkedIn's Global Green Skills Report 2022 states that green workforce is increasing as a percentage of the global workforce, from 9.6% in 2015 to 13.3% in 2021, a growth rate of 38.5%. Therefore, it is of great importance for APEC economies to conduct in-depth research and exchanges in promoting green jobs to achieve a resilient and sustainable recovery in the aftermath of the pandemic, responding to the call of the Joint Ministerial Statement of the 31st APEC Ministerial Meeting 2021 to achieve sustainable recovery and climate change. Firstly, the project seeks to address the resilient and sustainable recovery from the COVID-19 impact by promoting industry restructuring and expanding employment in the region. In the face of both the severe recession and accelerating environmental challenges in the post-COVID era, a green recovery will significantly enhance the resilience of economies and societies. Therefore, green jobs should also be at the heart of the COVID-19 recovery in the region, not only facilitating a strong socioeconomic recovery by offering more decent jobs, but also contributing to the long-term objectives of addressing climate change and sustainable development. Secondly, the project seeks to address the insufficient human resources strategies and policies for fulfilling the environmental targets. In 2020, China announced that it would aim to achieve peak CO2 emissions before 2030 and carbon neutrality before 2060. Other APEC economies also put forward various strategic goals and action plans in terms of sustainable development. To achieve such goals, it is essential for economies to develop and implement green jobs related strategies and policies, to speed up human resources development. Thirdly, the project seeks to provide implications for policy making for APEC economies, so as to promote and upgrade the green skills of workers, especially the youth, in the region. Since more than eight in every ten workers in the Asia-Pacific region are in either low-skilled occupations or medium-skilled occupations, another major challenge is that workers, especially youth, need green skills upgrading and transformation to meet the requirement of green jobs and sustainable socioeconomic recovery. Through joint research and international forum, this project aims to address above challenges facing green jobs development by analyzing underlying problems, making practical policy recommendations, and sharing expertise, knowledge and good practices among APEC economies. The ultimate goal is to promote an inclusive and resilient recovery in the region.
Eligibility and Fund Priorities: This project will directly support one of the priorities in the ASF: Developing Human Capital and the priority in the Sub-Fund on APEC Cooperation on Combating COVID-19 and Economic Recovery: it particularly meets the followed two criteria listed in this sub-fund:1) address and manage the economic impacts of COVID-19; and 3) expedite economic recovery, build resiliency against future large-scale economic disruptions. The research and sharing of good practices among APEC economies will give implications to policy makers to promote the development of green jobs in the post-pandemic era, so as to boost sustainable and resilient socioeconomic recovery. The output of the project will also enable the region’s labour force, especially vulnerable groups, to get equipped with skills needed in green jobs, and contribute to the inclusive and sustainable recovery of APEC economies. Capacity Building: By identifying common challenges, highlighting best practices and strengthening knowledge sharing among APEC economies in the field of green jobs, specifically human resources development and green skills upgrading, this project is anticipated to enhance the capacity of policy-makers especially that of developing economies to develop, improve and implement relevant policies to support green jobs development and ultimately achieve the goal of sustainable and resilient recovery from COVID-19. The project will also build the capacity of researchers in APEC economies by gaining in-depth knowledge of status quo, challenges and opportunities facing economies in green jobs development as a foundation for further research. |
Objectives |
The project’s objective is to promote capacity building of policymakers and researchers in APEC economies through joint research and international forum, by figuring out priority areas, challenges and exploring good practices regarding to green jobs development in the wake of COVID-19. Policy recommendations will be proposed aiming at helping APEC economies to improve policy systems supporting green jobs development and to achieve sustainable and resilient socioeconomic recovery in the post COVID-19 era, thus to better support the goal of Strong, Balanced, Secure, Sustainable and Inclusive Grow in APEC Putrajaya Vision 2040. |
Alignment |
Alignment to APEC: This project will respond to the requirement put forward by Joint Ministerial Statement of the 31st APEC Ministerial Meeting 2021 to achieve sustainable recovery and climate change. It is also in line with the APEC PUTRAJAYA VISION 2040,and Aotearoa Plan of Action with the objective of “promote economic policies, cooperation and growth, which will support global efforts to comprehensively address all environmental challenges, including climate change, extreme weather and natural disasters, for a sustainable planet”, and calling for APEC economies to Cooperate in relevant APEC fora to develop, encourage and exchange best practices and policies, improve capacity building programmes, that address environmental challenges. It also echoes the 2022 APEC theme of “Open, Connect, Balance” and the priority area “Promoting Balance, Sustainability, and Inclusivity in all Aspects”. It will also respond to the call by The APEC Strategy for Green Sustainable, and Innovative MSMEs, which is to play the important role of government, to provide training and skills development for MSMEs to adopt green practices. Alignment to Forum: This project addresses one of the three major objectives highlighted in the HRDWG: Integrate human resources development into the global economy, since the ultimate goal is to build the capacity of APEC economies to promote green jobs for all groups of people in the region to achieve inclusive and resilient economic recovery. |

Linkages |
This project will also engage other APEC fora such as the SMEWG and EWG, and related international organizations such as ILO, which keeps promoting green jobs and people-centered recovery as the priority. In proposing the project concept note, the APEC project database has been examined thoroughly to ensure there is no duplication. Previous research done by economies and international organizations mainly focus on the general concept of green jobs and related policies, but not the role of green jobs in achieving resilient recovery from major crisis, especially the COVID-19 pandemic. Therefore, by now, this project is not duplicating previously approved projects. To avoid duplication, the PO will continue to monitor APEC’s project database for approved projects that may complement, overlap or duplicate this project. APEC is the best forum to fund and implement this project. First, compared with other international forums, the project aligns largely with APEC themes, HRDWG priorities, and priorities of its ASF and sub-fund. Second, as the highest level, most extensive and most influential economic cooperation mechanism in the Asia-Pacific region, APEC covers economies with great diversity, which allows economies to better draw upon each other’s experiences, and help with maximize the beneficiaries of the project. Third, APEC as a multilateral mechanism will effectively help with disseminating the policy recommendations proposed among economies, for them to consider in future policymaking and practices. |
Sustainability |
This project highly values the importance of sustainability. Based on the findings and policy recommendations from the project research report and international forum, policymakers and researchers among APEC economies are able to continuously implement and improve policies and conduct in-depth research regarding to green jobs development to achieve resilient recovery from COVID-19, addressing challenges in a targeted manner under the context of each economy. The ultimate beneficiaries, workers, especially youth in the region will continuously benefit from favourable policies. In this way, the project will continue to have an impact after the funding period. After project completion, the next steps to build on its outputs and outcomes may include: (1) further and more detailed research in related field (2) a cooperative network of policymakers and researchers to support economies to achieve and implement better policies in promoting green jobs for resilient recovery. If necessary, a continuing APEC project will be proposed to build on outputs and outcomes of this project, to conduct further study into related topics. (3) periodic or annual surveys to determine if the findings of the report remain up to date or if alternate trends emerge after the report, in order for the report to continue to sustain its relevance with the economies. Progress on the outcomes could be measured by circulating surveys among APEC economies to track the impact of this project on policy reforms, new research findings, and development of green jobs. |
