Upcoming eventFacing up to Climate Reality - Norwich 29th September 2018
What is the reality of climate change that is facing us? How likely is it that we will limit warming to 1.5, or 2 degrees? If we did take the science seriously and set targets and policies that reduced greenhouse gas emissions by the amount required what would that mean for our economy? How many jobs could we create? This free one day conference will consider these questions, as well as what we can learn from past extreme weather events for how we might cope in the future. For more information and to register please click here. This conference is organised by the Green European Foundation with the support of Green House think tank and with the financial support of the European Parliament to the Green European Foundation. |

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. Moving Beyond Capital-Centred Growth - planning for jobs across the UK,
by Jonathan Essex Written as part of the Green European Foundation transnational project, “A Green Transformation: Freedom and Security in Uncertain Times”, this pamphlet argues for economic planning in the UK to provide the jobs that we need to ensure a transition to a low-carbon economy, across the UK. |
