The 2025 SDG Partnership report analyzes the workforce dynamics of the Asia-Pacific region’s transition to green and blue economies. While this shift will mitigate climate change impacts and generate millions of new jobs, it will also bring about livelihood disruptions and workforce challenges for the region. A just transition, that is as fair and inclusive as possible, creating decent work opportunities and leaving no-one behind, is essential to deliver environmental sustainability, improve livelihoods and reduce inequalities in the region. The report examines the implication of green and blue transition on the workforce, assesses workforce preparedness for the transition and presents targeted solutions to promote inclusive workforce development, transition-ready social protection and gender equality. The report also outlines critical enablers for a just transition and recommendations for governments on how this can be achieved.
