**Purpose**

India has committed to a net-zero target by 2070, with imminent ambitious decarbonisation targets by 20301. Unless we align climate action with the country’s economic growth and job priorities, we risk climate action getting side-lined in the wake of economic or employment distress. There is both a need and potential for climate action to generate a large number of jobs and fuel economic growth, conversations around which have thus far been very limited.

So far, the green economy discussions with regard to climate action has adopted a narrow view. Green economy is generally associated with renewable energy, electric mobility, and, lately, green hydrogen. While these are important, such a limiting view of green jobs ignores the job and economic potential that other aspects of the climate action and overall pursuit of a green economy may hold. Bio-based economy and nature-based resources are two such key aspects of green-economy future with high jobs and growth potential:
Bioeconomy: land and forest based livelihoods (including but also beyond sustainable food production) including sustainable materials (bioplastics, biofertilizers, biofibers, etc.), biofuels from agro residue, etc.

Nature-based solutions: carbon-based /ecosystem-service-based revenue streams for cultivators, community dwellers and others.

However, the evidence/data and narratives building has been around these two opportunity sectors has been underwhelming. Therefore, we plan to first generate evidence on the potential number of jobs and the economic activity that the bio-based economy and nature-based solutions can contribute to. Alongside, we need to showcase examples of success from the real world where realisation of jobs potential across these two economic sectors and value chains has already happened. These estimates and examples would then be leveraged to engage with the key system leaders (public as well as private sector) with the intention of informing and evolving their mindsets, changing the dominant discussions regarding jobs and livelihoods, and affecting systemic change.

mapping and estimating the green economic activity and jobs (direct, indirect, and induced) potential across the entire value chain in the bio-based economy and/or nature-based solutions.

identifying key gaps in un-leasing the potential of the two opportunity sectors and catalysing development programmes with relevant stakeholders to address the gaps.
