What are Green jobs? According to the International Labour Organization (ILO) these are jobs that “help to reduce negative environmental impact ultimately leading to environmentally, economically and socially sustainable enterprises and economies; more precisely, green jobs are decent jobs that reduce consumption of energy and raw materials; limit greenhouse gas emissions; minimize waste and pollution; and protect and restore ecosystems”
2. Definition ILO:
Local Economic Development is a strategy for employment promotion
through micro and small enterprise development, support of social
dialogue and development planning. At the center of the approach is the
creation of public-private partnerships that bring together stakeholders in
the local economy.
Based on the rational use of local capacities and resources, the
stakeholders will define common priorities for the development of their
region taking into account the social and environmental contexts. The
partnership can be developed in a forum or institutionalized in a Local
Economic Development Agency (LEDA). This will reinforce the capacities
to raise public awareness on the development needs of the region and to
establish linkages at the national and international level.
