With the need to protect the health of our planet have come economic, political, and cultural changes that have transformed the ways we work and our responsibility as individuals to care for the environment. New professions – so-called green job – that help reduce the ecological footprint of human activity, protect and conserve ecosystems and biodiversity have attracted growing interest and fostered adaptation to changes in the environment. Which sectors of the economy are most attentive to ecological transition? To answer this question and address related issues, a meeting and short documentary film presentation is jointly organized by Casacomune and CinemAmbiente.
