The authors of a new ILO-UNEP report discuss the prospects for developing "green jobs"—employment that restores or preserves the environment. With global warming under way, there is a need to deploy such jobs over the next two decades. The authors are hopeful that the labor intensity of green occupations across a diversity of sectors will create a net gain of jobs as workers transition from dirtier industries, thus helping to solve employment and poverty problems along with climate change.
