Sustainability jobs are in demand and expected to grow in the coming years due in part to businesses and other organizations investing in sustainability, making sustainability commitments, and taking actions to mitigate their environmental impacts.

On LinkedIn, some of the fastest-growing green jobs are in fields like ecosystem management, environmental policy, and sustainable procurement.  But, green skills are also growing in professions that are not traditionally considered "green," including in fashion, healthcare, transportation, and technology industries.  Employers increasingly expect members of their workforce to be actively thinking about how to do their jobs more sustainably.
