Good, Green Jobs

What do the labels mean?

Green: Includes jobs in sectors considered fully green in this analysis (e.g., repair, waste collection, and recycling sectors), as well as in sectors that are partially green (e.g., energy generation, manufacturing, construction, etc.).

Other: Refers to jobs that are neither explicitly green nor non-green by definition. Some have the potential to transition into green jobs as the economy becomes greener and more industries either supply or source their input from green sectors. Others (e.g., jobs in the art sector) may not be considered green by existing definitions but are also not directly causing GHG emissions and can sometimes make a significant and under-recognised contribution to public education on sustainability issues and more.

Non green: Refers to jobs in sectors that either a) are directly tied to fossil fuels and emissions generation, or b) have been excluded from this analysis until a sector-specific method for estimating their green activity is developed. A just transition for many workers in sectors such as oil and gas into renewable energies and other opportunities is possible with the right planning, investment, and commitment, including social dialogue with affected workers and communities.
