Frequently Asked Questions

1. What are green jobs?

At Greensider Foundation, we generally refer to green jobs as jobs that contribute to a more sustainable future.

There isn’t a universal definition of green jobs. Some are more exclusive, focusing on direct environmental services or renewable energy sectors. Some are more broad, arguing all jobs have an impact on the environment. You might also hear about climate jobs, sustainability jobs, low-carbon jobs, eco jobs etc, all falling into the same bucket.

Despite all the nuances, we believe the goal is one, that is working towards a future where there is harmony between nature and people.

2. Who can register an account?

Anyone can register an account on Greensider, either as a Person or as an Organisation, as long as what you do or aim to do is related to green jobs or sustainability.
