Introduction

The global shift toward net-zero emissions, climate resilience, and sustainable development is accelerating the demand for green jobs and just transition strategies. As economies decarbonize, industries are undergoing structural transformation, requiring workforce reskilling, green skills development, and inclusive labor policies. Institutions such as the International Labour Organization emphasize that a just transition ensures no worker or community is left behind in the shift to a low-carbon economy.

Green Jobs and Just Transition Strategies Training Course provides a comprehensive framework for understanding green economy pathways, climate-smart employment, renewable energy workforce development, ESG integration, and policy mechanisms for equitable transition. It aligns with global sustainability agendas promoted by organizations such as the United Nations Development Programme, the World Bank, and the International Renewable Energy Agency, enabling participants to design actionable strategies for inclusive green growth.
