According to the United Nations’ report Green Jobs: Toward Decent Work in a Sustainable, Low-Carbon World, the global market for environmental products and services is projected to double from $1,370 billion per year at present to $2,740 billion by 2020.
Highlighting Baltimore’s achievements as a progressive, green city helps to attract forward-thinking investors and businesses and residents who are drawn to the quality of life provided by a sustainable city.
