Читать книгу Global Environmental Careers - Justin Taberham - Страница 23

The environment is a growing sector for employment globally, and there is also a growing public awareness of green issues, on a global scale. The diversity of green jobs has accelerated, with new sectors of employment being stimulated by technological advances (often called ‘Green Tech’).

Green jobs span a wide array of occupational profiles, skills and educational background and, while some constitute entirely new types of jobs, the majority are modified versions of traditional professions and occupations. There is clear evidence of the viability and potential for green jobs across the entire workforce, including manual labourers, skilled workers, craftsmen, highly qualified technicians, engineers and managers.
