In this work, starting from Moore's concept of cheap nature (2017), the analysis of the Anthropocene or Capitalocene society will be started. The use of resources for energy purposes, after a comparison between the dominant energy system based on fossil fuels and the increasingly necessary alternative of renewable resources, directs the analysis on the role of the ecological and energy transition. In the context of the transition, attention is placed on another phenomenon increasingly linked to the environmental and energy issue, that one of migration. Migration will be read not only in terms of access or non-access to available energy resources, but the intent will be to read the role that migration can have in the context of the so-called Green Jobs.
