In 2018, at the initiative of CSO Go Green, a working group for implementation of initiative Green jobs for youth was established. Members of the working group are representatives from the following governmental institutions: Ministry of Environment and Physical Planning, Ministry of Labor and Social Policy, Employment Agency, Agency of Youth and Sport, Ministry of Education, Center for Vocational Education and Training.

The Center for Vocational Education and Training is proposing ‘Green jobs’ to be added in the National qualification frame as a special category. To this day there is still no available information about this process.

In 2014 The Ministry of Environment and Physical Planning started with the IPA Project “Preparation of a long-term strategy and law on climate action” who had the purpose to carry out the necessary analyzes and assessments of the current situation and conditions in the beneficiary country in the framework of the preparation of a long-term strategy and the law on climate action and to support their adoption and implementation by 2020.

This project is finished and this are the results:

• Conducted analysis that includes analytical and technical reports on specific strategic and legal issues that will serve as background data and contribution to the strategy and the law. Reports should be concise, targeted at policy makers, and focused on providing input to the strategy and the law.
