Green jobs are a relatively new concept that has been increasingly discussed in recent years. The International Labour Organisation (ILO) defines green jobs as decent employment that contributes to the preservation or restoration of the environment—whether in traditional sectors such as manufacturing and construction, or in emerging green industries such as renewable energy and energy efficiency.

In the face of intensifying climate change and the depletion of natural resources, "green jobs" have emerged as an inevitable trend, not only helping protect the environment but also creating a new driver for economic growth.
