Green Jobs Learning Forum: Local Strategies and Actions Green Jobs and the promotion of the Green Economy have become the key drivers for achieving an economic and social development that is also sustainable. Green Jobs can be created in all sectors and types of enterprises, in urban and rural areas, in all countries at all levels of economic development. At the same time, greening the economy can generate consistent and positive outcomes for increased wealth, growth in economic output, decent employment and reduced poverty. Achieving this double dividend, in terms of both environmental and social goals, requires the commitment of policy makers and the active support of enterprises, entrepreneurs and workers. If on the one hand, a coherent mix of policy responses is needed at the national level, local implementation strategies are equally important in the promotion of a wide range of innovative solutions and job opportunities. Given the growing demand for support to address the effects of climate change, local development strategies are more and more incorporating the green jobs dimension. Policy makers and local practitioners need therefore to make the appropriate links and seek synergies for better results. At its 2nd edition, this interagency Learning Forum will propose a special focus on how to promote private sector development and contributions to green growth and environmental sustainability, through the analysis of case studies and initiatives that enhance local development while responding to the demand for new markets, new products and new production methods.
