India faces a dual challenge of environmental sustainability and need for rapid economic growth.With a population projected to exceed 1.6 billion by 2047, the demand for employment will be immense, especially as traditional industries face disruption from automation and climate change impacts. Green jobs offer a solution by fostering economic resilience with environmental outcomes, crucial for achieving India’s global commitments. Additionally, creating green jobs can empower youth, enhance rural livelihoods, and bridge the urban-rural development divide, ensuring an inclusive and sustainable future for all.
