Why Green Growth?
• A new paradigm
– To ensure that countries take better advantage of the large potential benefits that can accompany the move towards greener economies.
– To recognise that to build a prosperous world economy, “green” and “growth” can no longer be considered in isolation.

OECD’s Green Growth Strategy
OECD Ministerial Council Meeting (June 2009)
Help countries to:
Promote economic growth while reducing GHG emissions, pollution and inefficient use of resources, and maintaining biodiversity
“Decouple” economic growth and environmental impacts
Shift in paradigm (agriculture→ industry→ service→ green)

LEED Project
The project will identify and assess the:
• impacts of the transition to a low-carbon economy on job profiles and skills requirements on the workplace;
• challenges and opportunities arising in the relevant policy areas, while meeting greener demands and complying with new regulations; and
• efficiency of mechanisms and practices used to facilitate transformation and adaptation of the labour market to greener demands.
