    Green Jobs Policy Readiness Assessment in Thailand

    19 July 2023

    In most countries the transition to a green economy is still at an early stage and it is expected that job losses will occur due to changes caused by the transition to a green economy. However, ILO studies have concluded that these job losses will be smaller than initially expected (ILO, n.d.).
