Department of the Interior and Local

Science and Technology (DOST).

Besides coordinating with the 21 agencies in implementing the
Green Jobs Act, the DOLE also heads the Tripartite Project Advisory
Committee for the Just Transition, focused particularly on the mining

Philippines is anchored on the implementation of the Green Jobs Act.
The law itself is the product of ILO and DOLE's earlier initiatives on
green jobs and decent work. This explains why much of its piloting
activities are in synch with the law's objectives.
