Ecological value added
ILO Definition: Green jobs reduce environmental „footprints“• cutting the consumption of energy, raw materials and water,• decarbonising and dematerializing the economy;• bringing down emissions of greenhouse gases;• adapting to climate change;• protecting and restoring ecosystem services (Campbell).
United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP): • Work in agricultural, manufacturing, research and development,
administrative and service activities that contribute substantially to preserving or restoring environmental quality
CEDEFOP: • Green Jobs reduce the environmental impact of enterprises and economic
sectors, ultimately to sustainable levels

What do we find?
_ fragmented structures
_ no overall environmental strategy, no overall analyses
covering different areas
missing interlinkages
_ competition of ‘partners’ alongside institutional and often political thresholds
_ addressing particular issues required in Green strategies
Something like …
