Over the past two decades, policy discussions about green jobs, clean economies and economic sustainability have increased dramatically, along with increased commercial demand for green goods and services and increased funding to support this economic transition.

Governments, education institutions, businesses, community organizations and individuals will all need a better understanding of this changing industrial landscape to determine how to best take advantage of current and upcoming economic opportunities and meet their desired climate goals.
