This report by the ILO stresses the need for the greening of the economy to be accompanied by the integration of workplace safety and health measures.It emphasises that, while promoting a greener economy does not make jobs decent, healthy and safe by default, it provides an opportunity to make all jobs healthier and safer, while benefiting the environment and society, provided occupational risks are identified and managed at the onset. The report assesses the occupational risks in green jobs in various areas of economic activity that have been identified as having high potential for generating new green jobs, namely: renewable energy, including solar, wind, hydropower, and bionergy; waste management and recycling; shipbreaking; and agriculture and forestry. It also examines occupational safety and health issues in mining and extractive technologies; the transition towards energy-efficient construction and sustainable refurbishment; and nuclear energy
