This Collaborative project between Green House Think Tank and the Green European Foundation has been developing a model for the jobs created by the transition required to address both the Climate and Biodiversity crises as well as shift towards sustainable resource consumption. This work culminated in December 2018 with the publication of Unlocking the Job Potential of Zero Carbon. This project has looked at climate job potential in UK, Ireland, Poland and Hungary.
This event presented the results of modelling to estimate the net number of jobs that could be created in each local authority area by the transition to a zero carbon economy, in the key sectors of energy, transport, waste management, buildings and food, farming and forestry.
Green European Foundation, with the support of Green Foundation Ireland and in partnership with SIPTU and the Dublin Council of Trade Unions, present an all-day Seminar on the theme: Jobs in a Changing Climate
This report uses Sheffield City Region as a case study and looked at renewable energy, transport, buildings, farming, forestry and food, and reuse, repair and recycling. Where they could be quantified, the numbers of jobs that would be lost were subtracted from the number of jobs created.
This report is a case study using the Isle of Wight to develop a model to estimate the number of jobs that would be created by the transition of key sectors of the economy.
