This workshop is organized by the International Labour Organization (ILO) to review country approaches, tools and policies to create jobs and promote social inclusion in the green economy, including case examples from Indonesia, Kenya, Malaysia, Mexico, South Africa and Turkey. The workshop is intended for staff of UN and international organizations, researchers, government representatives and development practitioners. Its outcomes will contribute to the work of the new Partnership for Action on Green Economy (PAGE), among the UN Environment Programme (UNEP), ILO, the UN Industrial Development Organization (UNIDO) and the UN Institute for Training and Research (UNITAR), following on the UN Conference on Sustainable Development (UNCSD, or Rio+20) decision to enhance knowledge sharing in this area.
