Abstract

This study investigates the crucial role of green jobs in the green economy and energy transition. Our findings em-phasize that strategically managing the creation of green jobs can significantly contribute to economic growth in both developed and developing nations. Notably, our analysis reveals substantial investments by Italian and in-ternational companies in the green economy and sustainability, aligning with global efforts to address challenges like climate change and foster the development of a sustainable society
