Abstract: Not all green collar work is created equal, yet measures of its sustainability, cast against the triple bottom line that underlies the Sustainable Development Goals (People, Planet, Prosperity) remain under-developed. We applied a published protocol for indexing sustainable livelihoods identifying, rating and ranking the 10 most sustainable green collar livelihoods in contemporary New Zealand. The resulting mini-index of sustainable livelihoods provides a proof-of-concept for combining with the remaining 12 livelihood collars identified in the Wheel of Work. Responding to the International Labor Organization's (ILO) identification of decent work, poverty eradication and environmental sustainability as most significant challenges for the twenty-first century, this pilot study is the first step in the development of a full Sustainable Livelihoods Index (SL-I). More than structures of decent work, an SL-I will help guide and incentivize multiple directly invested groups - students, organizations, and government workforce development agencies - towards comparatively sustainable forms of livelihood that protect, people, planet and prosperity.
