Abstract: As countries work to achieve their nationally determined contributions (NDCs) to address the rapidly advancing climate crisis, there is little discussion regarding how an unqualified workforce could delay the implementation of climate-related projects and investments in low-carbon technologies and processes. A delay in climate and energy projects due to skills shortages could lead to additional global warming while also increasing the costs of project implementation as demand for workers with technical and green skills outstrips supply. The "Jobs and Skills for the New Economy Initiative" seeks to address this challenge by accelerating investments in the workforce for the green economy by elevating green skills in global climate discussions and national climate and education policies, while identifying financing to support national governments to swiftly advance green skilling efforts across sectors and levels of education. As countries pursue ambitious climate goals, workforce readiness is critical. This case study highlights how the Philippines is addressing green skills gaps across six priority sectors. It proposes practical "quick wins" to accelerate progress, linking workforce development with climate strategies and expanding opportunities for youth, informal workers, and marginalized groups.
