terms were removed from the dictionary as they were found to be capturing unrelated concepts. Additionally, 172 exemptions were established for the remaining terms to exclude words that contain the term but are not related to the topic. For instance, the terms 'hazardous material' and 'waste' were removed, while the term 'ecolog' has an exemption 'gynecolog', and the term 'environmental' has an exemption 'environmental sanitation'.

Second, the dictionary underwent a sensibility analysis, which consisted of classifying terms into two categories: green and green potential. While some terms strictly captured environmentally friendly tasks (green terms), others captured tasks that may or may not be environmentally friendly depending on the level of greening of the economy in a specific country's context. These latter terms are referred to as green potential terms since, even though the tasks may not be green at present, they have the potential to become green as countries become greener. For example, many terms related to agricultural activities, 'energy engineer,' or 'motor buses.' Green potential terms also include those that capture tasks whose outputs may be less polluting or more resource-efficient than the equivalent average output.<sup>48</sup> For example, 'repair' captures the task of repair activities, which may consume fewer resources or prevent the generation of waste compared to producing a new one. However, it should be noted that this term should be used with caution when repairing old goods leads to consuming more energy than their newer alternatives. The distinction between green and green potential terms provides a narrow and broad definition of greenness, or a lower bound of greenness—what we know for sure is green—and an upper bound—what may be considered green or could be green if greener technologies are adopted.

The dictionary contains a total of 308 terms categorized as _green_ and 39 terms were categorized as _green potential._ Table 3.2 provides a summary of term selection and selected examples. For transparency and replicability purposes, the toolkit with the final green dictionary and do file is available to readers.<sup>49</sup> It contains the exact list of terms with their exemption rules and their categorization into green and green potential. It also includes the 104 removed terms marked as ‘remove.’ Users of the toolkit can adjust the dictionary to the country context and as technology and green jobs evolve.
