Over the past four years Green House 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, in the publication of Unlocking the Job Potential of Zero Carbon, by the Green European Foundation with the support of Green House think tank. This contains the results of modelling for the UK, Hungary and Ireland, carried out with the support of Green Foundation Ireland and Ecopolis in Hungary.
The report was launched at Towards a New Climate, Katowice, 11th December 2018 , a fringe event to COP24. In 2019 Green House has produced summary reports for local areas in the UK. These are available here. |
