Climate change poses a significant challenge to global sustainable development. The combustion of fossil fuels, deforestation, and industrial activities contribute to the accumulation of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. As the global population continues to grow at a rapid pace, the demand for natural resources also increases. The sustainable management of these limited resources is becoming increasingly difficult. Industrial activities, energy production, waste management, and rapid urbanization further contribute to environmental pollution. Issues such as water and air pollution, soil degradation, and inadequate waste management pose substantial threats to environmental sustainability. In order to mitigate these challenges, it is essential to adopt measures such as the utilization of clean energy sources, recycling, and waste reduction to minimize environmental pollution. Furthermore, addressing issues of inequality, poverty, hunger, and access to healthcare is crucial. These circumstances emphasize the importance of green economy and green jobs in the contemporary world. Green economy is the most important global goal in achieving sustainable development. As an enviromentally centered concepy, the aim of the gren economy is to ensure environmental sustainability, efficiently utilize natural resources, and direct economiz growth in an environmentally sensitive manner. Green eonomy can be understood as the notion of production/consumption being in harmony with nature, without compromising the regenerative capacity of the natural environment. Green technology and innovation play a pivotal role in promoting sustainable development. Technological advancements and innovations in areas such as the transition to clean energy sources, energy efficiency, sustainable agricultural techniques, and water management are of paramount importance in achieving sustainability goals. This study offers a theoretical analysis to comprehend the significance and value of green economy and green jobs.
