Abstract
This multiple case analyses show that sustainable development policies in both China and European countries can greatly impact the green labor market. In China, the sustainable development polices greatly impact its forestry, renewable energy, and infrastructure sector. The demand of green jobs keeps increasing from 2005 to 2020.However, the green transition process per se is painful for small coal factories and employees from carbon intensive industries. In the EU-25 area, the number of green jobs also keep increasing. Unlike China, the most environmentally polluting industries release more than 90% of carbon dioxide and greenhouse gases but only generate a small fraction of jobs (14%) in the labor market. By the end of 2030, the number of green jobs will increase up to 12 million in European countries.
