Green Jobs Malaysia Project

Organisation :
International Labour Organization (ILO), Government of Malaysia, Malaysian Employers Federation

By taking a tripartite approach, the project aims to provide ILO constituents and stakeholders with a clearer understanding of the distribution of green jobs across the economy, promote information exchange and social dialogue on green jobs policies, and identify potential entry points for further green job creation, thus help policy makers to shift to a green economy.

The main activities of the project include: 

  • Phase 1 - Gathering data, scoping and mapping green jobs in Malaysia.
  • Phase 2 - Building a Dynamic Social Accounting Matrix (DySAM) that will account for environmental activities (green DySAM).
  • Phase 3 - Developing the capacity of future DySAM experts in Malaysia.
  • Phase 4 - Piloting green skills standards development programme by building on the results of the DySAM analysis to pilot test the implementation of national occupational standards on green skills in key sectors– energy, transportation, waste and water management, and building.
