The environment is at the center of the scene, concerned about markets, industries, governments, corporations and businesses at all levels, that promoted by environmental interests, commercial law, seeking ways to produce, be profitable and compete trying to also be ecological processes.

It is not a simple task, requiring new technology and replace certain raw materials by less polluting but at the same time not increase production costs. To achieve ecological congenial to industry, commerce and life in general, it is necessary to investigate and develop processes to apply them. These processes require manpower and that is why the new job boom will come in green.According to a report commissioned by the United

Nations Program for Environment (UNEP), entitled 'Green Jobs: Towards Decent Work in a Sustainable, Low-Carbon' claims that the future workplace will be given in the areas of development and production of alternative technologies. The report notes that "green jobs" depend on a shift of subsidies from oil and gas to be applied, instead, to wind power, solar and geothermal currently costly.

In place of hydrocarbons, biofuels could create 11 million jobs worldwide in 2030 and now who are employed in the field of alternative and renewable energy add up, worldwide, one million workers .

A charge will not only development and deployment of renewable energy, but also environmentally friendly vehicles, consumer electronics recycling and reuse of other recyclables.

In fact, only the manufacture, installation and maintenance of solar panels to harvest solar energy will create more than six million jobs by 2030, while wind power would add another two million jobs, according to estimates by the Organization International Labor Organization (ILO) and United Nations Program for Environment (UNEP).

But what are the green jobs?

A "green job" work in agriculture, energy, industry, services and administration, helping to preserve or restore environmental quality, conserving the environment and natural resources of polluting emissions and improving the utilization of renewable resources.

The report "Green Jobs, Towards Decent Work in a Sustainable and low carbon emissions," evidence that the global market for environmental products and services will double by 2020 and will increase from 1.370 billion a year to 2740 million.The dual challenge of implementing green jobs and renewable energy is given by environmental issues of concern, such as:

• Climate disasters: 262 million people affected annually between 2000 and 2004.


• Water scarcity: 1.800 million people are expected shortage of fresh water by 2025, especially in Asia and Africa.
  
• Environmental refugees: 50 million may be environmental refugees due to climate change in coming years.
  
• Food shortages and malnutrition: affecting 180 million people today and could threaten 600 million people by 2080.
  
• Pollution: 2 million people worldwide die prematurely each year due to indoor air pollution and outdoor.
  
• Loss of biodiversity: the vast majority of well-studied species are suffering a setback in their distribution, abundance or both.
  
• From an economic level - at work,
  
• concern focuses on:
  
• Working poor: 1.300 million people around the world with earnings too low for them and their dependents may exceed the poverty line of $ 2 per day.
  
• Unemployed: 190 million worldwide.
  
• Young people seeking employment: more than 500 million additional young people seeking employment in the next 10 years.
  
• Insecurity: 5.300 billion people without access to social security coverage.
  
• Access to energy: 1.600 billion people without access to modern energy.
  
• Adequate housing: 1.000 million people in poor housing conditions, lacking basic services like drinking water and sanitation.

With these realities is not surprising that the market for renewable energy and green jobs are viewed with such hope alternative energy seem to be the key to the ecological and environmental dilemmas as well as employment issues, economic and social difficulties facing the world.

If we analyze the number of jobs created is estimated to be about the organic industry, besides the direct benefits of reducing pollution but eradicated, we might think that the main problems of the modern world would be solved in twenty years; however, not taken into account in this analysis, the future of companies and workers today are employed in industries related to fossil fuels.

On the other hand, should not worry that the profitability of producing alternative energy is not evenly distributed among workers, by contrast, live and are employed in precarious in places like Brazil, Colombia, Malaysia and Indonesia, where it is grown sugar and are incredibly low wages and working conditions highly dangerous.

For these jobs help to avert dangerous climate change and to provide decent work, ILO and UNEP recommends the establishment of coherent and stable addition to surveillance in order to promote decent work in jobs related to the biofuel sector .

Otherwise, renewable energy sources will only create decent work for professionals who today are engaged in various industries, such as engineers and technicians, in 10 or 20 years can be passed from the oil industry and green technologies such as wind or solar. But the unskilled worker, which stands as the first link in the green industry would not see changes or improvements in their work situation.
