The Philippines’ Green Jobs Act of 2016 was a major piece of legislation designed to create and maintain jobs in the emerging green economy. It identifies skills needs, develops training programmes, and trains and certifies workers for jobs in a range of industries related to sustainable development and the transition to a green economy. It offers financial support for the creation of green jobs, including generous tax deductions for skills training programmes.

The Act lays out a cross-agency effort to implement its goals. The Department of Labor and Employment (DOLE) was tasked with developing a National Green Jobs Human Resource Development Plan on the development and deployment of the public and private sector labour forces. The plan includes programmes and projects related to basic and higher education as well as technical-vocational training.

The DOLE, together with the Philippine Statistics Agency, maintains a database of green jobs as well as a list of companies that are expected to create new clean energy jobs in support of skills training assessments and certifications. The Department of Finance administers financial incentives (including new tax incentives introduced in the law) to qualified people and businesses engaged in registered activities.

Several education departments and authorities oversee development and implantation of curricula and certifications for skills needed for a clean energy transition, while the Department of Trade and Industry established a special business facilitation programme for people and businesses that create green jobs. Other governmental departments also ensure mainstreaming of green jobs in sectoral development plans, such as transport, sustainable tourism and green buildings.

Oil Industry Braces for Years-Long Iran War

Oil producers, traders, and refiners are bracing for a prolonged war between the United States and Iran in the Persian Gulf with little to no hope of a quick resolution. By extension, they are also preparing for higher prices for longer, a theme present at this year’s edition of the Asia Pacific Petroleum Conference. Reuters’ Clyde Russell reported this week that the mood at APPEC was not particularly cheerful as hostilities in the Middle East escalate once again, suggesting achieving peace would be quite a challenge. The Reuters columnist…

Stolen Electricity is Powering Illegal Crypto Farms Across the Globe

Electricity theft is a global problem, and it’s getting more dire all the time. While the problem is most common in developing countries, where grid infrastructure is limited and utilities and state authorities have lower oversight capacities, developed countries are not immune either. This theft can occur in many forms and at many scales, from individuals tapping into power lines to power their individual residences to large-scale and sophisticated theft schemes to power entire cryptocurrency mining farms. Just this week, Mexican authorities…

The Race to Solve Nuclear Energy’s Biggest Problem

Iran’s Security Crackdown Runs Into Resistance From Within

Iran's parliament is trying to turn fears of foreign infiltration into law. But as lawmakers work through the legislation, the debate is exposing an increasingly awkward question for the Islamic Republic: How far should the state go in policing Iranians' contact with the outside world? At the center of that debate is Parliament Speaker Mohammad Baqer Qalibaf, who, at least publicly, is doing a balancing act. He has defended the need for tougher measures against foreign infiltration while warning that the current draft of the legislation goes too…

Why More Homes Are Switching From Gas to Heat Pumps

Heat pumps are becoming an increasingly popular alternative to gas-powered central heating systems and are increasingly being used in new construction, often driven by government incentives. A heat pump uses technology similar to that found in a refrigerator or an air conditioner, extracting heat from a source, such as the surrounding air, and amplifying and transferring the heat to where it is needed. As most of the heat is transferred rather than generated, heat pumps are far more efficient than conventional heating technologies such as boilers…
