                                            reduces waste

               Support low carbon industry    • To develop technologies that promote renewable energy sources (wind, solar,
                                            and water)
                                             • To design and adopt technologies and products that minimises carbon emissions



              Green Jobs
              People possessing Green Skills are getting jobs in the fields of agriculture, manufacturing, Research and Development
              (R&D), administrative, and service activities that are aimed at sustaining and protecting the environment. These
              jobs are called Green Jobs. People with green jobs ensure that resources in an economy are allocated in a fair and
              an equitable manner. These jobs help in:
                 • Ensuring judicious consumption of energy and raw materials.
                 • Reducing the greenhouse gas emissions especially that of carbon dioxide.
                 • Minimising pollution at all levels.
                 • Putting in place proper waste management systems that minimise waste generation and contamination of the
                environment.
                 • Protecting and restoring our ecosystems.
                 • Positively impacting our country’s green economy.
                 • Producing eco-friendly goods or services.
