IIETF > Area of Work > Economy, Decarbonisation, Skills

In the field of economy, decarbonization, and skills development, our think tank plays a crucial role in shaping policies and initiatives that promote sustainable economic growth, address climate change, and enhance workforce skills. Here are several actions our think tank undertakes in this domain:

Conduct research on the economic implications of decarbonization efforts, including the transition to renewable energy, green technologies, and low-carbon industries. Analyze the potential impact of decarbonization policies on economic growth, employment, and income distribution.

Develop policy recommendations and frameworks to support decarbonization efforts while promoting economic growth and job creation. Advocate for policies that incentivize investment in clean energy, sustainable infrastructure, and green technologies while addressing social and economic equity considerations.

Support initiatives to develop workforce skills for the green economy. Develop training programs, educational resources, and vocational training initiatives to equip workers with the skills needed for jobs in renewable energy, energy efficiency, sustainable agriculture, and other green sectors.

Advocate for policies and programs that promote the creation of green jobs and support the growth of green industries. Support initiatives such as renewable energy projects, energy efficiency retrofits, and sustainable infrastructure development that create employment opportunities while advancing decarbonization goals.

Advocate for policies and programs that ensure a just transition for workers and communities affected by the shift to a low-carbon economy. Support initiatives such as job retraining, income support, and community development programs to mitigate the social and economic impacts of decarbonization.

Engage with businesses, industry associations, and employers to promote sustainable business practices and support the transition to a low-carbon economy. Collaborate on initiatives such as green supply chain management, corporate sustainability strategies, and industry-led decarbonization efforts.

Advocate for carbon pricing mechanisms such as carbon taxes or cap-and-trade systems to internalize the costs of carbon emissions and incentivize emission reductions. Analyze the economic impacts of carbon pricing policies and advocate for mechanisms that promote competitiveness and innovation while reducing emissions.

Support initiatives to mobilize investment and financing for decarbonization projects and green infrastructure development. Advocate for policies that incentivize private sector investment in clean energy, sustainable transportation, and climate-resilient infrastructure.

Evaluate the effectiveness of decarbonization policies and initiatives in achieving their intended objectives. Conduct impact assessments, case studies, and evaluations to assess the economic, social, and environmental outcomes of decarbonization efforts and identify areas for improvement.

Raise public awareness and promote education on the economic and social benefits of decarbonization and sustainable development. Develop educational campaigns, workshops, and outreach programs to engage stakeholders, policymakers, and the public on issues related to decarbonization, economic growth, and skills development.

Driving sustainable solutions for economic growth, technological advancement, and a thriving future.
