Algeria has officially initiated a project to classify and structure environmentally focused careers, marking a significant step toward strengthening its green economy. The Ministry of the Environment and Quality of Life launched the development of a National Code of Environmental Professions, an initiative intended to standardise and promote green jobs across the country.
The announcement was made during a formal event attended by government officials, institutional stakeholders, and representatives from various economic sectors. During the meeting, Environment Minister Nadjiba Djilali emphasised the growing importance of environmental concerns in Algerian society, stating that they have become not only a social priority but also a catalyst for economic growth through green and circular economic models. She introduced the initiative as a key strategic project that will serve as a framework for organising and promoting green professions throughout the nation. The project is being led by the National Centre for Cleaner Production Technologies, with active collaboration from multiple ministries.
The Minister highlighted ongoing reforms in vocational training, particularly the integration of programs that better align with emerging environmental careers. She also commended the role of innovative start-ups in accelerating the shift toward sustainability.
