How delivering a climate change compatible sub-regional economy will create new enterprises and employment
By Jonathan Essex and Peter Sims.
How would a transition to a zero-carbon economy affect employment?  Would jobs be lost or gained?  What kinds of jobs might be created, and where would they be?  This new report from Green House tries to answer these questions for the Sheffield City Region by bringing together data on the number of jobs associated with activities such as insulating homes or recycling waste with existing economic information about the region, to produce an estimate of the number of jobs that would be created in key sectors of the economy.
