Ramanan: Malaysia to steer Asean green jobs agenda, focus on skills for future workforce

Malaysia has been entrusted with leading the Asean green jobs agenda for the 2026-2030 period, as per the new work programme of the Asean Labour Ministers. HR Minister Datuk Seri R. Ramanan emphasized the importance of ensuring that the Asean workforce possesses the necessary skills to fill the new jobs that will be created as part of the transition to a green economy.

He highlighted that two important documents, the Asean Framework and Action Plan (FAP) for a Just and Inclusive Transition to Green Jobs 2025-2030 and the Joint Statement on Actionable Plan for Green Jobs Towards a Sustainable and Inclusive Asean Workforce, provide strategic direction for Asean to manage workforce changes following the green economic transition.

Ramanan also mentioned Malaysia's successful organisation of the Asean Green Jobs Forum (AGJF) 2025, which gathered over 450 delegates focused on the theme "AI, Digitalisation and Green Jobs."
