BNSP Chairman Syamsi Hari Highlights the Significance of Green Economy Implementation for Future Job Landscape
Telegraf – In response to the growing global trend of Green Economy implementation, Syamsi Hari, Chairman of the National Professional Certification Agency (BNSP), recognizes the emergence of new job opportunities on the horizon, Jakarta, (11/1/24).
This aligns with the sentiments expressed by Google and Alphabet CEO Sundar Pichai in 2020, who predicted the creation of over 20,000 new jobs in the clean energy sector by 2025 due to climate-related projects.
In light of this, Syamsi Hari has delegated Commissioner Amilin to attend the kick-off meeting for the Green Jobs Social Inclusion and Sustainable Transformation (GESIT) project. The meeting, hosted by Mahatmi Parwitasari Saronto, Director of Manpower at the Ministry of National Development Planning (PPN)/Bappenas, took place on January 8, 2024.
The global push for Green Economy implementation seeks to minimize carbon emissions, a sentiment echoed in Indonesia through the Green Jobs initiative. The program, developed in collaboration with the Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit GmbH (GIZ) and Innovation and Investment for Inclusive Sustainable Economic Development (ISED), aligns with Germany’s multinational commitment to various sectors in over 130 countries.
The international Green Jobs project, currently experiencing a boom, is set to span four years in Indonesia, from July 2023 to June 2027. The focus is on addressing climate change and environmental issues, leading to the creation of numerous jobs as a consequence of the Green Economy implementation.
The GESIT project, in line with Indonesia’s Vision 2045, aims to create high-quality, productive, and competitive Green Jobs to support the development of a green economy. The initiative is coordinated by the Ministry of National Development Planning/Bappenas, in collaboration with the German Federal Ministry, GIZ, and active participation from BNSP.
BNSP’s active involvement in the Green Jobs for Social Inclusion and Sustainable Transformation project includes the preparation of competency certification programs. This ensures that individuals working in Green Jobs are thoroughly tested and competent, contributing to the overall success of the initiative.
Among the attendees at the kick-off meeting were representatives from various ministries, GIZ GESIT, International organizations such as the World Bank, International Labour Organization (ILO), UN PAGE, and UNIDO. The collaborative effort signifies a step towards a sustainable and inclusive future in Indonesia’s job market.
