The need for environmentally sustainable modes of production and a more efficient use of resources i.e. Green Industry, is becoming increasingly evident. This is especially so in the developing world, which has the unique opportunity of avoiding the environmental pitfalls that the developed world has fallen into in the course of its industrial development; it can use past experience to build a Green Industrial infrastructure at the very outset. This paper provides an insight into how an increased focus on Green Industry for sustainable industrial development in developing and transition countries can contribute to the attainment of global Sustainable Development (SD) objectives. The paper seeks to elaborate on the need for and value of approaches that target industry specifically, and to promote a more equitable access to the knowledge, technologies and production processes that are needed in developing and transition countries, in order to achieve SD there and elsewhere.

The report highlights occupational safety and health (OSH) as an integral part of the promotion of green jobs and a greener economy to achieve an economic and social development that is also environmentally sustainable. The report looks at different “green industries” from an OSH perspective, and shows that while green jobs improve the environment, revitalize the economy and create new employment opportunities, they may also present a number of known and unknown risks for workers. The greening of traditional sectors which will continue to provide the bulk of all employment and harbour most occupational safety and health risks can provide a major opportunity to make them safer and healthier, as well as energy efficient and environmentally sustainable, provided the right measures are taken.
