Green jobs and their contribution to sustainable development
Shiromani Sharma
The global community is facing pressing challenges such as climate change, resource depletion, and social inequalities, which demand sustainable solutions. Green jobs have emerged as a key driver of sustainable development integrating economic, social, and environmental goals. This paper examines the concept of green jobs, their role in renewable energy, sustainable agriculture, waste management, and environmental services, and how they contribute to sustainable development. It also highlights challenges in promoting green employment, strategies for effective implementation, and their alignment with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The findings suggest that green jobs are essential for fostering inclusive growth, reducing environmental impact, and building resilient economies. The paper concludes with recommendations for policymakers, industries, and stakeholders to enhance the creation and quality of green jobs.
