With respect to the workforce, this change does not directly imply the creation of new jobs and specific skills, but rather the "greening of existing jobs" and the upskilling of their existing skills-portfolio. As a consequence, the matching of skills to jobs has become a strategic priority in most countries. As an answer to this challenge, education, training and retraining can be considered as the powerful levers to enable all workers to benefit from the new job opportunities offered by the green economy.

By reviewing a number of best practices, the Author explores the strategic contribute of social partners in outlining the green agenda and driving the economy towards more sustainable pathways. Specifically, linking variable pay to green objectives represents an effective incentive for workers and management to implement green practices. Collective bargaining on green salary is therefore regarded as a key instrument in greening the workplaces. Moreover, the dynamism of the green labour market requires actions aimed at promoting vocational education and training, as well as anticipating future skill needs. In this connection, social partners are supposed to play a fundamental role too.

Abstract: In recent years, in the Italian panorama, many environmental training and educational activities have been aimed at facilitating and accelerating the transition to green economy. About 2000 training activities are offered every year by more than 500 private and public institutions, universities and research institutes. Given the amount of the educational and training investments and the relevance of the issues treated, it seems useful to analyse the characteristics and trends of environmental training, highlighted in the specific compass of basic training, degrees and post-degree, in order to explore critical aspects and potentialities. In this article employment trends data of three-year environmental degrees and master will be discussed. Significant occupational trends emerge, despite the influence of the economic crisis.

Una ricerca in corso Abstract: The research program builds on the environmental labour market from the gender point of view, to ask whether and how the development of the green economy, and related green jobs and green skills, can represent an opportunity to increase female employment. If you stop at the obvious response that the already low female employment is still lower in most environmental sectors and professions that deal with environment, you do two wrong things; the first consists in considering as given and unchangeable, a situation of sex-typing work and training that has produced and continues to produce occupational segregation, both horizontal and vertical. The second wrong thing is based on the stereotype that green economy and subsequent occupation will relate mainly to the exercise of purely technical skills.

In response to the growing dependence on fossil fuels and importations, due in part to the increase of energy consumption in the residential sector (in 2009 46,9 Mtep, 3% more than 2008) and the recent European directives (i.e. EU 2009/28/CE) requiring CO2 emissions cut of up to 13% in 2020, there is interest in promoting energy efficiency and renewable energy technologies, which are suitable for residential applications. In this paper we present an overview on actions related to minimization of buildings energy consumption in Italy. Prevalent line of action is to improve the energy performances of building envelope (Dlgs 192/05) using insulated frames, walls and roofs and replacing heat generators with condensing boilers. In addition to national directives, ONRE Report 2011 (National Observatory on building regulations) shows that 831 Municipalities (10% more than 2010) establish mandatory targets for insulation, photovoltaic solar panels, solar water heaters, heat pumps use, correct buildings orientation, saving of water resource and local materials use. In addiction an efficient energy rating of the buildings could promote the spread of energy efficiency measurement and consequently facilitate their implementation. The new energy rating system should meet international standards, regarding environment and energy aspects, and respect territorial needs.

Il ruolo e il contributo diretto e indiretto dell'agricoltura allo sviluppo sostenibile Abstract: Agriculture plays a relevant role in most green economy issues which will be discussed in the next conference on sustainable development at Rio de Janeiro (Rio+20). Food security, water, disaster risks, are the most related issues but the contribution of agriculture will be wider and horizontal. In the European context, policies have implemented many of the priorities of sustainable development, linking them to the characteristics of the territories and with strategic objectives of EU. In particular, around 2000, the concept of rural development was born as the recognition of the role of agriculture not only as a productive sector but also as a growth factor for a balanced and integrated development of rural areas. Farming became again one of the components of the local development of those territories where there has not been an evident development of the industrial or service sector. Concretely, farmers receive a financial support if they demonstrate to perform activities that directly or indirectly benefit the environment and this is a payment for the supply of a public good of collective interest. The message addressed to the farmer is clear: it is not only important that he/she is able to produce but what is even more important is the quality of the product and the sustainability of the process adopted. This is not just a different approach to business, but a cultural change that is difficult to spread especially because of the low presence of young people in agriculture but also because public support cannot ensure an adequate remuneration. The green component of agriculture is encountering difficulties to take off, overwhelmed by the historical structural problems aggravated by the current crisis. This article discusses the main agricultural pressures on the environment and analyses some related economic activities that can be considered as examples of the green component of the rural development.

(Dir. 2009/28/EC). This sector helps to reduce energy dependence and contributes to combat the climate change. The land plurality offers the opportunity to the farms to diversify their activities both to agricultural high quality food production and toward the production of biomass crops for energy purposes. The political system must adopt strategic tools that ensure a local energy system implementation through the support of the agricultural sector in the long period. The Marches region, which has a great variety of landscapes, environments, cultural traditions and food, promoted the production of renewable energy for farm needs (housing, factories, stables, greenhouses, etc.) and for the energy sale, that ensure a supplementary income to farms. The Marches region has invested several million euro through experimental and demonstration projects and specific financial measures came from Rural Development Plan (RDP) and Sugar beet Action Plan (PSA) for so-called Low Energy Farm (23 plants financed for energy sale and several plants financed for self use energy).

Many authors have approached this issue from the perspective of large companies, however, the concept of Green Economy could be quite interesting from an SME perspective as well. The aim of this paper is to review the literature and to explain whether opportunities for SME in adopting a green "behaviour" could be useful to better address the needs of customers. The authors examine the results of a survey carried out among a sample of small-medium firms from the Marches Region. Preliminary findings highlight that often SMEs are not able to address customers? needs in terms of eco-sustainable outcome as revealed by this study. It is actually very difficult for these firms to disclose and convey to the market and their customers the values of the Green Economy that they desire to bring.

Attori e percorsi della green economy Abstract: In recent years there has been an interest, partly renewed but largely new, for the development of economic activities which deal, more or less directly, with the environment. Resisting the idea that the greening of the economy in our country (but not only in our country) mainly concerns the energy sector and more specifically the photovoltaic, it seems interesting to confront economic actors working in different product fields (from agriculture to informatics) with a common interest around "environmentally sound" labour practices. We asked to five small enterprises acting in the Marches region to debate around the ideas and practices of the new green economic sector.
