Green Jobs in the Forest Sector Team of specialists 

What is the Team of Specialists on Green Jobs in the Forest Sector?

FAO, ECE and ILO have been cooperating for 50 years through the Joint FAO/ECE/ILO Committee on Forest Management, Technology and Training which was discontinued in 2004...

However the activity was revived by the joint session of the TC and EFC in the form of the Joint ECE/FAO/ILO Expert Network to Implement Sustainable Forest Management and from 2013 in the form of a Team of Specialists (ToS) to investigate and research the possibilities and potential for the creation of green jobs in a rapidly changing forest environment.

The Team of Specialists contributes greatly to the implementation of activities of the Action Plan (ECE/FAO programme) for the Forest Sector in a Green Economy.

The different areas for potential green jobs in the forest sector up to October 2016 have been identified and prioritised.  Deliverables such as newsletters, a handbook with recommendations and seminars and workshops involving most of the UNECE-countries have also been addressed and will be implemented through existing networks & education systems in the different regions/nations.
