A new ITUC report with economic analysis commissioned by the Millennium Institute shows how investing 2% of GDP in the green economy in each of the next five years in 12 countries could create up to 48 million new jobs over five years

http://www.ituc-csi.org/48-million-jobs-in-the-green.html?lang=en The report analyses 7 industries in 12 countries across Asia-Pacific, Africa, the Americas and Europe. For the first time economists have used the number of jobs that can be directly created from investments as a key indicator to analyse the impact of the green economy on creating decent jobs. Unions can now make the employment case for investments in the green economy with the international community, governments and business.
