Getting to know green jobs in Pangandaran regency tourism area

Climate change and global concerns about the availability of natural resources are serious issues in Indonesia. Green jobs are one of the alternatives to deal with these issues. These jobs are socially inclusive and can come from conventional sectors such as agriculture, construction, transport, tourism, and manufacturing or from new sectors such as renewable energy and energy efficiency. Pangandaran as one of the tourist destinations in Indonesia has great potential in implementing green jobs. The author reviews the socialization of green jobs and green economy concepts in Pangandaran Regency. We looks at the policies that have been made, namely through the Regional Regulation of Pangandaran Regency or other regulations in accordance with applicable laws, to find out the development of green jobs in Pangandaran. We also reviews the use of budgets in several sectors to determine whether or not the programs run are in line with the vision and mission of national development that supports low carbon development year 2020 to 2024. We uses a qualitative method that focuses on case studies related to the research topic. This research aims to understand the social phenomenon of green jobs through a holistic picture and multiply in-depth understanding of the data obtained. It can be said that the concepts of green jobs and green economy have not applied in Pangandaran Regency based on our observations in the field and analysis of the data. This is due to several obstacles, namely the poor state of regional finances due to Corona Virus (Covid-19), effect of the global recession, and the low qualifications/ competence of human resources in sectors related to green jobs.
