POTENTIAL OF GREEN JOBS FOR EMPLOYMENT GENERATION IN RURAL AREAS
Over the last two decades, green jobs have gained significant importance as countries worldwide have increasingly focused on sustainable development alongside employment generation. International environmental and occupational standards promoted by organizations such as International Organization for Standardization, including ISO 14001 for environmental management and ISO 45001 for occupational health and safety, have further strengthened the relevance of green employment across sectors. In a developing country like India, where a large proportion of the population resides in rural areas and depends heavily on natural resources for livelihoods, green jobs present a dual opportunity of employment creation and environmental protection
