"Green Jobs: Towards Decent Work in a Sustainable, Low-Carbon World"
This report from the United Nations Environment Programme predicts that millions of jobs will be created worldwide in the coming decades as a result of efforts to curb climate change and a growing global market for environmental products and services.
The 376-page report was produced for the UNEP by the Worldwatch Institute with technical assistance from the Cornell University Global Labor Institute. The UNEP commissioned and funded the study under a joint Green Jobs Initiative with the International Labour Office, International Trade Union Confederation and the International Organization of Employers.
