Malaysia to lead Asean green jobs agenda for 2026-2030
KUALA LUMPUR: Malaysia will continue to lead Asean’s green jobs agenda for 2026-2030 after being entrusted with regional projects under the Asean Labour Ministers’ new work programme.
Malaysia has been entrusted with leading the Asean green jobs agenda for the period 2026-2030, as outlined in the Asean Labour Ministers' new work programme. This responsibility stems from Malaysia's past chairmanship of the Asean Labour Ministers Meeting and Senior Labour Officials Meeting in 2018, where it championed the cause of ensuring a fair and inclusive transition to a green economy.
In support of this mandate, Malaysia has already delivered two key documents under its 2025 Asean Chairmanship: the Asean Framework and Action Plan (FAP) for a Just and Inclusive Transition to Green Jobs 2025-2030 and the Joint Statement on an Actionable Plan for Green Jobs Towards a Sustainable and Inclusive Asean Workforce.
