Green Economy = More Jobs
A new report released today says that if we shift our economy — to a greener, low-carbon economy — we will have more jobs, not fewer.
Earlier this week, Tony Blair (former prime minister of the UK) and the Climate Group reported that if we worked to avoid climate change we’d create 10 million new jobs by 2020 — worldwide. Another recent study by Greenpeace and the European Renewable Energy Council says that such a shift could increase employment in the EU by 2.7 million jobs by 2030.
One more report, released today by the Global Climate Network (an alliance of nine influential think tanks) comes to similar conclusions.
