ABSTRACT
This chapter examines the ways that the inclusion of gender in the analysis of a green economy and concepts of green jobs could be transformational in thinking about the nature of the economy and climate change initiatives. It explores the divergent views on green jobs and what constitutes a green economy. The chapter shows how the understanding of these concepts and their definitions matter with regard to solutions. It discusses the economic biases against work related to "social reproduction" and set this in the context of both "green capital" and more progressive and inclusive thinking about climate change. The chapter also examines the possibilities for a different kind of change with the inclusion of gender analysis in the discussion, as well as point to the major structural obstacles to creating a rational, inclusive economy to meet the needs of both the environment and people.
