Introduction: In January 2015, the government of the UAE approved the Green Agenda 2015-2030, a national blueprint for green growth that addresses the economic, social and environmental goals of the country and aims to maintain strong economic growth while preserving natural resources and the health of the environment. As part of the Green Agenda, a National Green Workforce and Talent Program is under development aimed at establishing a sustainable green jobs market and promoting green industries while developing policies that support the emergence of a highly skilled workforce in this area. To support this effort, the Ministry of Climate Change and Environment (MOCCAE), the authority mandated with coordinating the implementation of Green Agenda projects across the UAE, is undertaking a baseline study of the current situation and future growth potential of the green jobs sector in the UAE.
The Global Green Growth Institute GGGI is an intergovernmental organization founded on the belief that economic growth and environmental sustainability are not merely compatible objectives; their integration is essential for the future of humankind. We work with partners in the public and private sector in developing and emerging countries around the world to put green growth at the heart of economic planning. Headquartered in Seoul, South Korea, GGGI has 27 member countries globally. The United Arab Emirates is one of the earliest founding members of GGGI and is a member of the organization’s Council. GGGI has been working with the UAE government since 2011, supporting the development of the National Green Growth Strategy (NGGS), one of the first UAE’s long term development plans and a truly federal initiative. GGGI supported this effort through providing extensive analytics and jointly organizing and managing the stakeholder consultation process. The Strategy was approved by Cabinet in 2015 and in now in its implementation phase. |
