Landmark new report says emerging green economy could create tens of millions of new green Jobs
Efforts to tackle climate change could result in the creation of millions of new “green jobs” in the coming decades.
Changing patterns of employment and investment resulting from efforts to reduce climate change and its effects are already generating new jobs in many sectors and economies, and could create more in both developed and developing countries.
However, workers and their families, especially those whose livelihoods depend on agriculture and tourism would go on having negative effects by the process of climate change. Therefore, action to deal with climate change and its effects is urgent, and need to be designed to generate decent jobs.
