Green employment has emerged as a critical focus in recent years, reflecting its significance in fostering economic, social, and environmental sustainability. This work synthesizes recent works by leading researchers, exploring the multifaceted dimensions of green employment. It encompasses discussions on defining and categorizing green jobs, understanding their economic implications, and recognizing their social and environmental benefits. Challenges and opportunities in the development of green employment have also been examined, highlighting the need to address technological barriers and enhance skills development. Furthermore, recent research in Uzbekistan has underscored the importance of transitioning towards an innovative economic paradigm, aligning with the discourse on green employment and sustainability. Efforts to formalize employment, prioritize self-employment, and promote social inclusion align with the objectives of green employment and sustainable development, offering pathways for fostering a resilient, inclusive, and environmentally sustainable economy.
