The project will assess the social and employment dimensions of Jamaica’s Nationally Determined Contribution. A national Green Jobs Assessment Model will be developed to measure the impact of climate measures on key development indicators such as GDP, employment, skills, income distribution and inequality and gender inequality. The outcomes of the assessment and its process of multi-stakeholders’ dialogues will guide Jamaica in fostering evidence-based NDC policy making and a just transition that takes into account the impacts in different population groups, including women and youth.

Project Objectives:

The end-of-project outcome will consist in a GJAM report that presents the GJAM methodology and main implication of climate action to economy and employment.
