A green-collar worker is someone who works in the economy's environmental areas. Professionals such as green
building architects, environmental consultants, waste management or recycling managers, environmental or biological
systems engineers, landscape architects, solar and wind energy engineers and installers, green vehicle engineers,
organic farmers, environmental lawyers, and businessmen dealing with green services or products are examples of
green-collar workers. Electricians who install solar panels, plumbers who install solar water heaters, construction workers
ho construct energy efficient green buildings, technicians and orkers involved in the establishment of ind po er
farms, and those working for clean and renewable energy development are examples of green workers. Green jobs at
the enterprise level can produce things or provide services that benefit the environment, such as green buildings or
clean transportation.
However, these green outputs (products and services) are not always based on environment-friendly manufacturing
processes and technologies. As a result, green employment can be characterised by their contribution to
environment-friendly procedures. In addition, the government, in collaboration with business partners, is promoting
energy a areness and technologies for energy efficiency, in uencing consumer behaviour and establishing energy
codes. To overcome the skilled labour shortages, the Indian government is looking at long-term development. The
Ministry of Skill Development and Entrepreneurship has established the ‘Green Jobs Skill Council’. It is striving for
enhancing the usage of renewable energy, long-term development, and handling of waste.
reen obs, that e ist in a variety of occupational profiles of talents and educational backgrounds, are a completely
new sort of career, but the majority are based on established professions and occupations. The government is also
providing the push for green jobs as a part of restructured growth policies under its 'Make in India' programme, with the
goal of building a greener economy and developing environment-friendly employment possibilities. ‘Make in India’ is
intended to encourage investment, accelerate innovation, improve talent development, safeguard intellectual property,
and construct best manufacturing structures.

he greening of the economy provides a significant potential to launch ne firms, generate ne markets, and reduce
energy costs. reen employment that helps to safeguard the environment and reduce carbon footprints are quickly
becoming important in the 21st century. Green jobs help to:
• boost energy and ra material efficiency • minimise greenhouse gas emissions
• keep trash and pollutants under control • safeguard and restore ecosystems
• advocate for adaptation to the effects of climate change
