| Summary: | Green jobs is a priority area in advancing socio-economic transitions to enhance an environmentally sustainable economy, particularly in democracies. This paper firstly provides a review of different focuses of empirical research on green jobs and then conducts focus groups with practitioners to attain their critical perspective on priority areas. Through review it was found that job creation, net job creation or other macro impact studies are most researched. Priority areas that practitioners identified for future research were green jobs metrics; research informing employment and skills plans; just transition and green jobs; barriers to green jobs and green economy. |
