What Is the Green Economy?
The Green Economy brings together jobs and industries that help care for the planet while strengthening local communities and businesses.
It includes work in areas such as cleaner energy, greener transport, recycling and reuse, food production, construction, and protecting natural spaces.
With Wales aiming to reach net zero emissions by 2050, more people with practical, forward-looking skills will be needed than ever before.
The Green Economy is about finding better ways to use energy, reduce waste, and look after the world around us — creating opportunities that benefit people, places, and the planet.
