"Studies on the relationship between “green policies” and the labour market have been often relegated to the grey literature due to the lack of clear definitions of green jobs and skills. Primarily, uncoordinated statistical efforts across countries did not help build a common set of standardised measures for the green economy that can be used for policy evaluation. With the growing interest in the low-carbon transition and the urgent need to monitor and assess the effect of large-scale post-pandemic green stimuli, it is of paramount importance to build a widely accepted framework that can be used to analyze the structural transformations in the labour market associated with the greening of our economies. This report makes the case that the task-based approach is the best solution to these problems."
