2023
Gopal Krishna Sarangi
The aim of the study is to map and assess the green job opportunities and potential in selected countries in the Hindu Kush Himalayan (HKH) region with a specific focus on three key sectors, namely, renewable energy, energy efficiency, and productive use of energy, which are highly relevant to the region's economic growth and development. The study uses the employment coefficient method as the tool of analysis for assessing green jobs. The analysis shows that India has the most potential to generate a significant number of green jobs in many of the sub-sectors considered, whereas Bhutan has the least potential to create green jobs in the sectors under reference. In small-scale decentralisation interventions such as SHS and ICS, Bangladesh emerges as the country with the highest potential to create jobs.
