Green jobs include ‘decent’ jobs that help to reduce consumption of energy and raw materials, de-carbonize the economy, protect and restore ecosystems and biodiversity and minimize the production of waste and pollution. In Bangladesh the Green Jobs initiative pilot project is part of an ILO regional programme launched from in 2008 covering three countries namely: Bangladesh, China and India.
