I think this entry is a bit old Rhythm but even so it is four years on from you article and none of these "billions of jobs" have manifest.

UN press release 2008 also saying the same thing.
I think it is a pipe dream.
As for the "greening" of our industries this has been going on and I would say that Urban planner should be at the top of the list as THE best job to go for, this would also include architects/designers and landscape architects. ALL rather small exclusive fields and so not contributing to the "billions of jobs".
I HAVE found that it is not viable to do R&D as the incentives put forward by governments are not enough to sustain start-up companies here in Oz and the current "Big Mining Companies" bashing is having a rather unanticipated domino affect of the rest of industry. The grab for the Carbon Tax dollar is killing any entrepreneurship that might just fturn the whole economy around ...meh
