Abstract: During the last decades the green economy has been proposed from differentinternational organizations as an economic model for the 21st century that gravitatesaround respecting the environment. This paper tries to identify, with criteria of economicefficiency (high economic impact) and social efficiency (high impact on job creation, greenjobs), the “potentially green sectors” that can be stimulated by a national strategy to developa green economy in Spain. For this, we will use the Social Accounting Matrix of Spain 2010,identifying, by means of the normalized absorption and diffusion coefficients and by meansof employment multipliers, the key, drivers and with greater capacity for job creation sectorsfrom a group of ten sectors that we have identified as “potentially green sectors”.
