Abstract
This report is an analysis of the emergence of a green economy and its global impact on the labour market. It serves to identify how climate change and environmental challenges necessitate shifts in production, consumption, and employment towards more sustainable, low-carbon occupations. The scope of the document encompasses various economic sectors, including energy, buildings, transport, manufacturing, agriculture, and forestry, while assessing current employment trends and identifying potential future opportunities. The methods involve examining policy frameworks, corporate practices, and case studies to illustrate how industries are transitioning to cleaner production models. The findings indicate that while green growth is visible, particularly in developed and rapidly developing economies, urgent, inclusive action is required to ensure decent work and sustainable livelihoods globally.
