The fading financial and economic crisis in American and European territories has stressed the need to look at our current economic growth model through a new lens and to exploit new possibilities that are based on environmental and social sustainability. The crisis has created concrete opportunities for promoting a transition to green jobs and industries within the framework of Green Growth Strategy. This paper focuses on issues related to the impact of environmental policy on the labour market. The first part deals with the common understanding of the Green Growth Strategy, its objectives and priorities. The second part summarizes the main methodological problems connected with the impact of environmental policy on employment, and the third part analyses data about the interaction mentioned above in the Czech Republic. The paper concludes by characterizing the possible trends associated with the Green Growth Strategy, namely the impact of environmental policy on the labour market.
