Climate change puts more than 800 million jobs at risk, but with coordinated and rapid decarbonisation and the right policies in place, more than 300 million additional Green Collar jobs can be created by 2050. So, how can the C-suite plan for the Green Collar workforce transition ahead?
1.
More than 800 million jobs worldwide are highly vulnerable to climate extremes and economic transition impacts. No region, industry or job is without job vulnerability, but some have a significantly higher level of risk compared to others.
2.
More than 300 million additional jobs globally can be created by 2050 by seizing the decarbonisation opportunity and making the transition work for all.
3.
The net-zero economy will create – and require – a Green Collar workforce. So, to deliver the economic opportunity of an active transition to net zero, the C-suite needs to think about the skills of those workers in the Green Collar workforce.
