Renewable energy, cities , waste, buildings,
transport, tourism, manufacturing
Green Economy Opportunities in
Agriculture : Agro based economy
Productivity: 114 cases of conversion to organic/near
organic in Africa showed 116% increase in productivity.
Market: Global trade of organic reached US$50 billion.
Economic gains: 97% of revenues generated in
Europe/North America; more than 80% of producers are in
Africa, Asia and Latin America.
Employment: 30% more jobs per ha than non-organic in
East
Africa; 178,000 new jobs in Mexico.
Environment: CO2 emissions per ha 48% to 68% lower.

Areas of Agricultural Green
Investment
Areas of Agricultural Green
Investment : Organic
 Organic agriculture
sustains health of soils,
ecosystems & people
 Provides more than
30% more jobs/ha than
non-organic
 China has increased its
allocation of land for
organic prod from
300,000 ha in ‘05 to 3.5
mill ha in ’16
 In Ethiopia alone, 6 bn
is being invested in land
management during a
period of 15 years.
Areas of Agricultural Green
Investment : Forest
 Many communities
directly depend for their
livelihoods on non
timber forest products
Herbals etc.
 Sustainable forest
management can:
 create massive
employment, provide
for livelihoods,
 make a significant
contribution to the fight
against climate
change,
 combat desertification
and land degradation.
Renewable Energy
 About 2.3 million jobs in
renewable energy sector in
comparison to 2 m employed
in oil & gas refining industry in
’99.
 Projected investments of US$
630b in renewable energy
sector by 2030 would translate
into at least 20 m jobs.
The transition to renewable
energies is must bcause...
Uranium: 30years
Oil: 40years
Gas: 60 years
Coal: 200 years
__________________________

Sun : 5.000.000.000
years
Renewable energy: case study
China: RE sector generates
output worth US $ 17 bill &
employs 1 mill.
Nigeria: a biofuels industry
based on casava & sugar can
provide 200,000 jobs
India: 900,00 jobs could be
created in the biomass
gasification by 2025
Bangladesh: At least 20,000
jobs have been created with the
uptake of 3 renewable energy
technologies (Solar home
systems biogas facilities, &
improved cooking stoves)
Why Sustainable Cities?
Cities are polluted,
crowded and
complex to
manage.
Delivering the
smart city projects
encompassing all
environmental
friendly
Population trend in Pakistan?
Why Waste Management?
Green Buildings : Future
Energy efficient buildings:
Investments in improved
energy efficient buildings = 2-
3.5m jobs in Europe & USA.
 In Australia a proposed US$ 3b
green housing over 4 years is
expected to reduce green
house gas emissions by
3.8mtons/year = 160,000 jobs
In the US it is estimated that
US$ 100b to improve energy
efficiency of building & cities
over 4 years will generate 2m
new jobs.
Sustainable Transport: Future
● Shifting 25% of all air
travel in 2050 under
750 km to high speed
rail travel would
result in savings of
around .5 GT of
CO2/year (IEA, ‘08)
● Shifting 25% of all
road freight over 500
km to rail, .4 Gt of
CO2/year could be
saved (IEA, ‘08).
Water
●Market for water supply,
sanitation,& water efficiency
estimated at US$ 253 bn &
is expected to grow to US$
658 bn by 2020.
● Estimated Investment of
USD 15 bn per annum.
● This could generate USD 38
billion (with 15 bn in Africa).

Rethinking the Economic Recovery
Towards “Green Economy”
Future : Green Jobs
UNEP Report found that:
 Globally, > 2.3 million workers
employed in renewables; by 2030,
could be 20 million jobs
 Greening buildings in EU & US
would create 2 million jobs
 In China, 10 million jobs in the
recycling sector
 USD253bn market for water supply,
sanitation,& water efficiency is
expected to grow to $ 658 b
by2020
 Organic agriculture provides more
than 30% more jobs/ hectar

The 7th EAP: a long term vision of
sustainability
“In 2050, we live well, within the planet's ecological limits. Our
prosperity and healthy environment stem from an innovative,
circular economy where nothing is wasted and where natural
resources are managed sustainably, and biodiversity is protected,
valued and restored in ways that enhance our society's resilience.
Our low-carbon growth has long been decoupled from resource
use, setting the pace for a global, safe and sustainable society.”

Other EU policies offer similar perspectives: Europe 2020 Strategy, EU Energy Roadmap 2050, Roadmap
to a Resource Efficient Europe, Roadmap for a competitive low-carbon economy in 2050, etc.

Amazing “Green” Economy
Inventions(one of many)
A twenty years old Romanian boy, Raoul Oaida, builds with LEGO bricks a car
totally ecological, that works with compressed air. The car is really working, it
goes at a maximum speed of about 16 m/h thanks to a propulsion system, which
is equipped, consists of four orbital motors in their turn formed by 256 pistons. It
took 20 months time to build this car and more then 500.000 pieces of Lego. Forty
people financed the project with a total cost of 60.000 Dollars. Surely this car do
not match a commercial project but realize a dream of lots of, young and old, that
playing with the Lego bricks and imaged to build a real car that do not make
pollution and noise.

Conclusion
“Future of Green Economy”
Based on the premises, it appears as a worldwide
acquired conclusion that the importance of green
economy goes behind the merely economic or merely
health interests, and summarizes both their value
points.
The benefits arising from green economy are
extended to all levels of population and all countries,
as well as interconnected among the features of
mutual influence and common development: the more
countries and companies “go green”, the more the
economy grows; the more the economy grows
through “green plans”, the more research and
development on green economy will be conducted.
The more green economy dominates markets, the
sooner the world will be a clean place after more than
two hundred years of increasing.
Future of Green Economy

  • 32. The 7th EAP: a long term vision of sustainability “In 2050, we live well, within the planet's ecological limits. Our prosperity and healthy environment stem from an innovative, circular economy where nothing is wasted and where natural resources are managed sustainably, and biodiversity is protected, valued and restored in ways that enhance our society's resilience. Our low-carbon growth has long been decoupled from resource use, setting the pace for a global, safe and sustainable society.” Source: 7th Environmental Action Programme Other EU policies offer similar perspectives: Europe 2020 Strategy, EU Energy Roadmap 2050, Roadmap to a Resource Efficient Europe, Roadmap for a competitive low-carbon economy in 2050, etc.

  • 34. 34 Amazing “Green” Economy Inventions(one of many) A twenty years old Romanian boy, Raoul Oaida, builds with LEGO bricks a car totally ecological, that works with compressed air. The car is really working, it goes at a maximum speed of about 16 m/h thanks to a propulsion system, which is equipped, consists of four orbital motors in their turn formed by 256 pistons. It took 20 months time to build this car and more then 500.000 pieces of Lego. Forty people financed the project with a total cost of 60.000 Dollars. Surely this car do not match a commercial project but realize a dream of lots of, young and old, that playing with the Lego bricks and imaged to build a real car that do not make pollution and noise.

  • 35. 35 Conclusion “Future of Green Economy” Based on the premises, it appears as a worldwide acquired conclusion that the importance of green economy goes behind the merely economic or merely health interests, and summarizes both their value points. The benefits arising from green economy are extended to all levels of population and all countries, as well as interconnected among the features of mutual influence and common development: the more countries and companies “go green”, the more the economy grows; the more the economy grows through “green plans”, the more research and development on green economy will be conducted. The more green economy dominates markets, the sooner the world will be a clean place after more than two hundred years of increasing.

  7. The Next phase of the Green Jobs work stream: UNEP and ILO together with partners, will conduct a number of country studies over the next two years to pin down green job opportunities and offer solutions to the challenge of jobs negatively affected in the transition from a “brown” to a “green” economy. This stream of work will focus on the same range of environmental sectors as those identified for GEI.
