A new report by We Naturalists reveals a 48% increase in green job demand year-on-year. Gen Z (ages 21–30) is leading the trend, making up 63% of applicants, showing a strong interest in careers related to sustainability and the environment.

Why Is This Happening?

• Fast growth in green sectors like solar energy, electric vehicles (EVs), sustainability consulting, ESG (Environmental, Social, Governance) analysis, waste management, hydrogen energy, green buildings, and climate data science.
• More people from smaller cities are joining the movement. Tier 2 and 3 cities now make up 35% of green job seekers, up from 25% three years ago. Cities like Coimbatore, Kochi, Jaipur, Indore, Ranchi, and Bhubaneswar are seeing major growth.

Sector Outlook & Job Projections:

• India could generate 7.29 million green jobs by FY2028, and 35 million by 2047, supporting a goal of building a $1 trillion green economy by 2030, and $15 trillion by 2070.
• 20% of India’s current workforce is already in green jobs. This is expected to double by 2030.
• Roles like ESG analysts, climate data experts, and green tech professionals are seeing 4–6× increase in demand every year.

City vs Smaller Town Trends:

• Metro cities (Mumbai, Bengaluru, Delhi NCR, Chennai, Hyderabad) still lead in job postings.
• But Tier 2 and 3 cities are catching up, expected to contribute up to 40% of new green jobs by FY2028. Coimbatore is emerging as a major hub.

Skills in Demand:

• Green jobs need both sustainability knowledge and tech skills—especially in AI, IoT, GIS, blockchain, and climate analytics.
• Job platforms report a 64% increase in monthly green job postings.
• Top roles: Sustainability Managers, ESG Analysts, Environmental Consultants, and Safety Specialists.
• However, there’s a skills gap, especially in solar, wind, battery manufacturing, and EHS (Environment, Health & Safety) areas.

Future:

• Gen Z is driving change, and smaller cities are becoming key players.
• Partnerships between industry and educational institutions are crucial to train people for these jobs.
• Reskilling and inclusive hiring, especially in smaller towns and for women, can help India fully benefit from the green transition.

Wrapping Up:

India’s green job market is growing fast and spreading wide. With Gen Z leading the way, and more jobs moving to smaller cities, the country is building a sustainable, inclusive, and future-ready workforce. All it needs now is the right training, support, and collaboration to unlock its full potential.
