Green Jobs in U.S. Metro Areas

Dwindling natural resources, growing global demand for energy, climate change - these issues are irrevocably altering our global economy. In this report, the U.S. Conference of Mayors and Global Insight have examined the economic benefits of the 'Green Economy' - that part of economic activity which is devoted to the reduction of fossil fuels, the increase of energy efficiency, and the curtailment of greenhouse gas emissions. The greening of the U.S. economy, of the global economy, is not a dismantling of the past, but a new step forward - the next step in a continuous process of economic growth and transformation that began with industrialization and led us through the high-tech revolution.
