Definition: Green Jobs• Green Jobs involve protecting wildlife or ecosystems, reducing pollution or
waste, or reducing energy usage and lowering carbon emissions. The energy jobs are concentrated in energy efficiency, with some growth in renewable energy. They are cleaner, cheaper and smarter than traditional technologies.
• Green Sectors include:– Environment
• Agriculture and Forestry• Environment Protection• Recycling and Waste Reduction
– Energy• Energy and Carbon Capture and Storage• Energy Trading• Energy Efficiency• Renewable Energy Generation
– Infrastructure• Green Construction• Manufacturing• Transportation
– Support• Government and Regulatory Administration• Research, Design and Consulting Services
4
Within each of these sectorsare 3 subcategories
• Increased Demand Occupations: Existing jobs which will be in higher demand
– For example, the Renewable Energy Sector will need power system operators in wind, solar and geothermal. They will have the same skills as power system operators from traditional energy plants.
• Enhanced Skills Occupations : Exiting jobs that require new skills– For instance, occupations such as electrical engineers, continuous mining machine
operators, and mechanical engineers are likely to expand to include new tasks and competencies.
• New and Emerging Occupations (N&E) : Jobs that did not exist before, but have been created by the new green economy
– For example, designing, installing or selling solar equipment.
