The following summary of jobs was developed through research conducted by Kingston University, a corporate and university partner of ISEP (the Institute of Sustainability and Environmental Professionals). The list offers an insight into some examples of green jobs which sit within the green economy, but might not sit directly in an environment or sustainability team.
