Green Jobs - UNEP Factsheet

Green jobs1 are core to the United Nations’ and United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP)’s response to COVID-19 recovery packages. Amid all the loss and tragedy of the pandemic, hundreds of millions of people have lost their jobs as a result of the Great Lockdown. Building back better means creating jobs that take our economies one step further towards the 2030 Agenda and Paris Agreement, by accelerating and scaling up sustainable consumption and production.
