Green Jobs
Green jobs are decent jobs that contribute to preserve or restore the environment, be they in traditional sectors such as manufacturing and construction, or in new, emerging green sectors such as renewable energy and energy efficiency.
We believe that green jobs found in many areas of the economy from
energy supply to recycling and from agriculture and construction to transportation. They
help to cut the consumption of energy, raw materials and water through high-efficiency
strategies, to de-carbonize the economy and reduce greenhouse gas emissions, to
minimize or avoid all forms of waste and pollution altogether, to protect and restore
ecosystems and biodiversity.
