Resumo:
This report shows for the first time at global level that green jobs are being generated in some sectors and economies. The report also comes amidst a visible period of transition: trade unions, employers’ organizations, the private sector and the UN are natural allies in this quest. Each has a critical role to play, not least in the areas of boosting efficiency in the use of energy and raw materials through better work organization and of retraining and retooling the global workforce to seize the new opportunities and to master the transition to green production and consumption.
