Or they can produce goods and provide services by using green raw materials, processes and technologies. In other words, green jobs do not necessarily produce environmental goods or services, but their materials and processes have been greened, or vice versa.\n<\/p>\n<p>[[How will climate change mitigation and adaptation change the labour market?<br \/>\n]]<\/p>\n<table class=\"oeru1 table table-striped\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<th>\n<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>\n<p>The United Nations Environmental Programme (UNEP) expects that job markets will be affected in at least four ways as climate change mitigation and adaptation regulations are enforced and the economy is orientated towards greater sustainability:\n<\/p>\n<p>1. In some cases, additional jobs will be created \u2013 as in the manufacturing of pollution-control devices added to existing production equipment.\n<\/p>\n<p>2. Some employment will be substituted \u2013 as in shifting from fossil fuels to renewable energy, or from truck manufacturing to rail car manufacturing, or from landfilling and waste incineration to recycling.\n<\/p>\n<p>3. Some jobs may be eliminated without direct replacement \u2013 as when packaging materials are discouraged or banned, and their production is discontinued.\n<\/p>\n<p>4. Many existing jobs (particularly for plumbers, electricians, metal workers and construction workers) will simply be transformed and redefined as their day-to-day skill sets, work methods and profiles are greened \u2013 as in construction work that may start to include the installation of solar panels.\n<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>For a deep dive into the world of green jobs and green skills in the age of climate change, you can read the OECD\u2019s Green Jobs and Skills: The Local Labour Market Implications of Addressing Climate Change (a working document) by Martinez-Fernandez et al. (2010):\n<\/p>\n<p><i><a rel=\"nofollow\" class=\"external text\" href=\"https:\/\/www.oecd.org\/regional\/leed\/44683169.pdf\/\">Green Jobs and Skills: The Local Labour Market Implications of Addressing Climate Change (a working document)<\/a><\/i><sup id=\"cite_ref-2\" class=\"reference\"><a href=\"#cite_note-2\">[2]<\/a><\/sup>\n<\/p>\n<p>\nOne of the ways to green jobs is for more and more young people to learn green skills and then take them into the workplace. Construction Placements explains it as follows:\n<\/p>\n<p>Green skills are the employment skills that relate to careers in sustainability. This includes engineering, architecture, construction, and renewable energy. These areas of study often focus on climate change, ecology, and low-carbon transportation. Green skills are becoming increasingly important as the shift away from fossil fuels continues. More jobs are opening up in the green sector than in any other industry.\n<\/p>\n<p>Employers need people with these skills to work in global warming research, analysis, and advocacy. Jobs like this help maintain healthy ecosystems on Earth while mitigating climate change\u2019s effects.\n<\/p>\n<table class=\"cquote\" style=\"margin:auto;border-collapse: collapse;border: none;background-color: transparent;width: auto\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"20\" valign=\"top\" style=\"border:none;color:#B2B7F2;font-size:35px;font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;font-weight: bold;text-align: left;padding: 10px 10px\"> \u201c\n<\/td>\n<td valign=\"top\" style=\"border: none;padding: 4px 10px\"> <i>There are many reasons to learn green skills.

That is because people will be unable to work, as higher temperatures pose serious health risks.\n<\/p>\n<p>The phenomenon of heat stress refers to heat received in excess of that which the body can tolerate without physiological impairment. Heat stress affects, above all, outdoor workers such as those engaged in agriculture and on construction sites. It is a serious problem for a large proportion of the world\u2019s 1 billion agricultural workers and 66 million textile workers (many of whom have to work inside factories and workshops without air

William\u2019s dream, his inspiration, was to save his family and his community from the drought that brought famine and death. Your inspiration for choosing a green or blue job may not be as dramatic, but think about where your interest in climate change has come from.\n<\/p>\n<p>In your learning journal, reflect on the following questions. And may you find a green job that will help you make the future brighter!\n<\/p>\n<p>1. What is your dream job? Is it a green or blue one? Why or why not?\n<\/p>\n<p>2. What innovative ideas do you have for mitigating climate change in your community?\n<\/p>\n<p>3. What do-it-yourself green or blue job could you create for yourself?\n<\/p>\n<p>\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>\nNext, Module 5 \u2013 Intersectionality will take a much closer look at the people who are the most vulnerable to the impacts of climate change. Just as you would not want your family\u2019s mitigation measures to make life worse for your grandparents or the youngest child in your household or even your neighbours, it is important to ensure that our community and national mitigation strategies do not trample on the social, economic and environmental needs and rights of vulnerable people, disadvantaging them even further.\n<\/p>\n<div class=\"panel iDevice\">\n\t<div class=\"panel-heading idevice-heading\">\n\t\t<div>\n\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"pedagogicalicon\" alt=\"activity\" src=\"https:\/\/course.fossdle.org\/baccc\/wp-content\/themes\/oeru-course\/idevices\/Icon_activity.png\">\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div>\n\t\t\t<h2>Lesson Summary<\/h2>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n\t<div class=\"panel-body\">\n\t\t<div class=\"col-md-12\">\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n<p>In this lesson, you\n<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li> defined green (and blue) jobs;\n<\/li>\n<li> listed green and blue jobs that are available, and came up with some that should be available; and\n<\/li>\n<li> discussed which jobs can be greened so that they contribute to climate change mitigation, and which will have to be phased out as we drastically lower our carbon emissions.\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>\n<\/p>\n<div class=\"panel iDevice\">\n\t<div class=\"panel-heading idevice-heading\">\n\t\t<div>\n\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"pedagogicalicon\" alt=\"activity\" src=\"https:\/\/course.fossdle.org\/baccc\/wp-content\/themes\/oeru-course\/idevices\/Icon_activity.png\">\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div>\n\t\t\t<h2>Module Assessment<\/h2>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n\t<div class=\"panel-body\">\n\t\t<div class=\"col-md-12\">\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n<p>Now complete the <a href=\"\/baccc\/modules\/module-4-getting-to-zero-mitigating-climate-change-to-safeguard-the-future\/module-4-assessment\" title=\"BaCCC\/Module 4\/Assessment\">Module 4 assessment<\/a>\n<\/p>\n<p>\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>\n<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"mw-headline\" id=\"References\">References<\/span><\/h2>\n<ol class=\"references\">\n<li id=\"cite_note-1\"><span class=\"mw-cite-backlink\"><a href=\"#cite_ref-1\">\u2191<\/a><\/span> <span class=\"reference-text\">ILO, 2022. <a rel=\"nofollow\" class=\"external text\" href=\"http:\/\/www.ilo.org\/global\/topics\/green-jobs\/news\/WCMS_220248\/\">Green Jobs News<\/a><\/span>\n<\/li>\n<li id=\"cite_note-2\"><span class=\"mw-cite-backlink\"><a href=\"#cite_ref-2\">\u2191<\/a><\/span> <span class=\"reference-text\">Martinez-Fernandez et al.
