A recent United Nations Environment Programme report, produced by the
Worldwatch Institute, provides a broader definition of green jobs:
… work in agricultural, manufacturing, research and development
(R&D), administrative, and service activities that contribute
substantially to preserving or restoring environmental quality.
Specifically, but not exclusively, this includes jobs that help to
protect ecosystems and biodiversity; reduce energy, materials, and
water consumption through high‐efficiency strategies; de‐carbonize
the economy; and minimize or altogether avoid generation of all
forms of waste and pollution.
