The UN says millions of new jobs will be created worldwide over the next few decades by the development of alternative energy technologies.
More than a million people already work in biofuels, but a UN report says that could rise by 12 million by 2030.
It says "green jobs" depend on a shift of subsidies from oil and natural gas to wind, solar, and geothermal power.
New jobs could also include the expansion of recycling and making environmentally friendly vehicles.
The report, 'Green Jobs: Towards Decent Work in a Sustainable, Low-Carbon World', was commissioned and funded by the UN's Environment Programme (Unep).
