The Philippines is undergoing a green transformation in its economy to achieve sustainable development. This shift is expected to create green jobs that reduce environmental impacts and provide decent working conditions. Green skills are in demand across industries, but the transition may also lead to job substitution, transformation, or elimination.

Several policies, including the United Nations SDGs, the Paris Agreement, PDP 2017-2022, and the Philippine Green Jobs Act, drive the Philippines' transition to a green economy. Ensuring a just transition that creates decent work and upholds social justice, rights, and social protection is important.

The green economy is showing promising growth, with the green subsector's Compound Average Growth Rate surpassing that of the conventional subsector. TESDA is at the forefront of implementing green practices in the TVET (technical-vocational education and training) sector, with 20 training regulations incorporating green competencies.
