Green jobs among other components of sustainable and green growth emerge as a result of commitment towards environmental sustainability. That, in particular, comes from the transition to greener forms of production, distribution, and consumption as a source of long-term benefits in the form of reduced environmental damage and new opportunities for economic development.
