This report aims at providing the emerging lessons from a representative sample of case studies in 20 developing countries that could help policy makers to address implementation challenges, including overcoming political economy and affordability constraints. The sample has selected on the basis of a number of criteria, including the country's level of development (and consumption), developing country region, energy security and the fuel it subsidies (petroleum fuel, electricity, natural gas).
The Green Jobs Programme of the International Labour Organization (ILO) works towards environmentally sustainable economic and social development. Green jobs allow the generation of alternative employment with reduced environmental impact. The report presents the programme's activities of the past biennium and shows how these activities lead towards the programme's objective.
