Net Zero 2050 Target - Not Fast Enough - Good - Slow Down It has been reported that the government has decided to roll back on the net zero targets and the Labour party is considering ditching the £28 billion annual green investment pledge. These changes are sure to have a significant impact on the job market , particularly the 440,000 predicted jobs within the renewable energy and sustainability sectors. 🌍 With the reduction of funding and support for green initiatives, it is likely that job opportunities in these areas will be affected. This news has certainly sparked a debate among professionals and industry experts. Some may view this as a positive development, believing that the focus should shift towards other economic priorities. However, others may feel that this decision will have a detrimental effect on the environment and the job market, potentially leading to fewer opportunities for those working within the green industry. 📉🌱 I am curious to hear your thoughts - do you see this as a beneficial or detrimental change for the job market and the future of sustainability efforts?

Did you know that the growth in demand for green skills is outpacing the increase in supply? According to LinkedIn's 2023 Global Green Skills Report: 🌍 Globally, only 1 in 8 employees possesses one or more green skills. ♀️ Only 10% of women have at least one green skill, compared to 16% of men. However, the tide is turning. The report also found: 📈 The share of green talent grew by 5.4% between 2018–2023. 🔋 Employment in the renewable energy industry grew in every country studied between 2015–2023. 🏆 The median LinkedIn hiring rate for workers with at least one green skill is 29% higher than the workforce average. There is a long way to go in upskilling our communities and ensuring people, especially the marginalised, can enter secure and well-paid good green jobs, but mayors and cities are leading the charge. C40 research shows for C40 cities to contribute their fair share towards reducing emissions and limiting global heating to 1.5°C, 50 million green jobs are urgently needed.

The Green economy ranks as the second-best performing industry globally in the past decade! Second only to the technology industry, the Green economy has outpaced the broader equities market with a compound annual growth rate of 13.8%. With the green technology and automotive industries leading the way for the sector, the industry has overcome huge challenges and continued to expand at an unprecedented rate. As an industry that is still in it’s relative infancy (formally being categorised as it’s own sector in 2008), to be performing on this scale is impressive and with worldwide efforts slowly ramping up, the growth and span of the industry is not likely to slow down. https://lnkd.in/eSer7VRm #greeneconomy #greentechnology #renewableenergy #climatechange #netzero

✍🏻 The EU 2024 Single Market and Competitiveness Report is out ✍🏻 It states that more efforts are required to use the economic opportunity that the green transition and the cleantech sector represent. Some key findings: 1️⃣ Public financing for the green transition is insufficient Public procurement should be used as an instrument to prioritise sustainability, resilience, innovation, socially responsible practices, and strategic autonomy. Targeted instruments such as the Net-Zero Industry Act and the Critical Raw Materials Act will play an essential role through a mix of regulatory action and funding. See also “A Cleantech Investment Plan for European Competitiveness” by Cleantech for Europe: https://lnkd.in/gq563ZmP 2️⃣ Development of green skills needs to be accelerated In 2022, the EU employment rate was 75%, while 3/4 of SMEs face skills shortages. The green transition requires up- and re-skilling of the workforce. The skills academies proposed under the Net-Zero Industry Act could further contribute to this goal but need more efficient financing by EU and national governments. 3️⃣ Energy transition needs more Member State level actions The EU has reduced its GHG emission by 32.5% since 1990 and increased its share of renewables in energy to 23%. But more will be required, notably through action at Member States’ level, to facilitate the deployment of decarbonised electricity, its integration into energy grids, and increase the manufacturing of net-zero technologies. 4️⃣ Circular economy development is lagging and needs Member State control The use rate of secondary raw materials is slightly down and less than half of the aspirational target agreed for 2030. Critical Raw Materials Act and the Ecodesign for Sustainable Products Regulation create a strong business case for more circularity. However, Member States need to strengthen the market surveillance of product regulatory requirements linked to circularity. Read more from the full report here: https://lnkd.in/dr8catj2
