We must make the most of “green” job opportunities, says EU


The EU has outlined a plan to maximise job opportunities in environment-friendly sectors and support workers as the economy becomes “greener”.

“Green” jobs – involving working with information, technologies or materials that help the environment – are among the fastest growing in Europe.

They include jobs in:

  • recycling
  • biodiversity
  • insulation to increase energy efficiency
  • improving air quality
  • renewable energy technologies.
