Intended to assist researchers in anticipating skills, the report builds understanding of how to embark on a skills anticipation exercise, which is relevant for national, sectoral and enterprise level human resource development strategies related to climate change mitigation and adaptation.
It primarily deals with methodologies and institutional arrangements, and aims to inform decisions on the scope and level of skills anticipation research, sources of information, and available methodological approaches, both quantitative and qualitative. Research objectives, country context, data availability and institutional settings will determine which combination of methods to apply.
The report arises from a joint management agreement between the European Commission and the ILO on Knowledge sharing in early identification of skill needs.
The training activity is part of the Enterprise Level Initiative (ELI) of the GBA Project, being undertaken at a pilot phase with the auto sector supply chain.

This primer assembles current knowledge and illustrative case materials on the benefits of and enabling conditions for local ecosystem-based initiatives. It documents how nature-focused activities and enterprises originated and executed by local actors, can sustain ecosystems and improve the livelihoods and well-being of the rural poor. The primer is designed to help PEI practitioners and others engaged in the mainstreaming challenge communicate to policy makers the positive poverty and environmental outcomes that can result at the local level when environmental mainstreaming efforts at the national and sectoral levels succeed.

ILO - 2011. The European Commission and the International Labour Organization have combined efforts in reaction to the deep crisis that hit the global economy in 2008. The aim of this joint project is to examine policies that will lead not only to a quicker recovery but also to a more sustainable, environmentally friendly and equitable global economy. 'Towards a Greener Economy: The Social Dimensions' aims to promote a clearer understanding of the nature of the green economy and its implications for labour markets, especially the reallocation of jobs from high- to low-polluting sectors.
AFP - November 14, 2011. "Asia-Pacific leaders representing more than half of the global economy committed Sunday to cutting tariffs on environmental goods to no more than five percent and reducing energy intensity.
In a joint statement after a summit in Hawaii, leaders of the APEC bloc -- which includes the United States and China -- said they would also eliminate non-tariff barriers that impede trade in green products."
Market Watch (the Wall Street Journal) - November 8, 2011."Ensuring greener paths for economic growth is a top challenge for national governments and global institutions in the years ahead. The Green Economies Dialogue, a new project officially launched today at www.green-dialogue.org , will bring the policy and business communities together for intensive discussion of the best paths forward. "
ILO - November 1, 2011. "Climate change means that resource scarcity and environmental degradation have become major, and urgent, challenges. In response, the ILO is promoting the concept of green jobs as a driving force towards a greener and fairer development path that can support economic and social development at a sustainable level. By Vincent Jagault, Senior Specialist in Environment and Decent Work, ILO Regional Office for Asia and the Pacific"
Renewable Energy foucus - November 2, 2011. "The 4th Singapore International Energy Week (SIEW) was opened by a key-note speech of H.E. S. Iswaran, Minister in the Prime Minister's Office and Second Minister for Trade and Industry of Singapore. The Minister outlined Singapore's focus on the clean energy industry as a key growth area, which is expected to attract clean energy companies to set up their operations in Singapore, encourage research and development and test-bedding in clean energy technologies, create 7000 jobs and contributing AU$1.4 billion to GDP by 2015."
