Calling for a ‘new industrial revolution’ to promote equitable human well-being with lower resource use, the report cautions that the Asia-Pacific region cannot depend on declining natural resource costs for its future growth. A more sustainable pathway is required for the region, but this shift needs financing—some US$2.5 trillion in annual sustainable development investments, according to some estimates.

The course will increase participants' capacity to analyse survey data on child labour and youth labour market transitions and to support the design of well-informed policies in the area of child labour mitigation and youth employment. This course will provide participants with skills to analyse school-to-work transition surveys for an in-depth understanding of Youth Labour Market challenge and to propose evidence based policies.
In support of the initiative, the ILO Regional Office for Asia and the Pacific, in collaboration with Sub-regional and Country Offices, has initiated demonstration programmes which aim to “contribute to identification and testing of pathways to clean development through the creation of green jobs which reconcile goals for poverty reduction with low greenhouse gas emissions.” In India the first step in the exercise has been the pilot application of a sectoral assessment methodology. The assessment of three high potential clusters, including Jabalpur dairy cluster resulted in identification of high priority interventions that support the green jobs and decent work agenda. A key aspect of the implementation of such interventions is the provision of feedback to the assessment methodology, thus contributing to its further strengthening and refining with a view to the scaling up and replication of the approach.

Asia and the Pacific is expected to be hit hard by the impacts of climate change, with seven of the top ten vulnerable countries in the world being in the region. This publication showcases technologies that can be used to address such impacts across six sectors: agriculture, coastal resources, human health, transportation, water resources, and disaster risk management. The solutions presented may serve to demystify the technologies surrounding adaptation options.

The report entitled “Green Jobs: Towards Decent Work in a Sustainable, Low-Carbon World” is the first comprehensive study on the emergence of a “green economy” and its impact on the world of work. It includes new data that shows a changing pattern of employment in which green jobs are being generated in many sectors and economies around the world as a result of measures to tackle climate change and to reduce emissions of greenhouse gases. This has also led to changing patterns of investment flows into areas such as renewable energy and energy efficiency at the household and industrial level. Within current policy frameworks, only a fraction of the potential benefits for jobs and development is forthcoming.
