Green jobs play a crucial role in reducing the environmental impact of economic activities. This reduction is gradual, and various jobs contribute to this to varying degrees.

The article presents the forecasts of the International Labor Organization until 2030 of a change in the need for professions, professional fields and related skills of subordinates and managers. Lists of skills deemed necessary for developing a green economy in the UK and Republic of Korea are also shown.
