Promoting a green economy as part of sustainable and equitable development has therefore become the focus of a number of countries and local governments. For example, the European Union’s Europe 2020 strategy document aims to reduce greenhouse gas emissions to 20% below 1990 levels (and up to 30% below, under the right conditions), produce 20% of energy from renewables and ensure a 20% increase in energy efficiency (European Commission, 2010). Such targets sit alongside its plans for inclusive growth, which seek “to modernise labour markets and empower people by developing their skills” along with the greening of work more specifically reflected in the “Resource Efficient Europe” and “An Agenda for New Skills and Jobs” initiatives (European Commission, 2010).
