Overview
We are continuing the green renewal work into 2023 with an economic partnership of environmental NGOs working jointly to support the sector with analysis and messaging for key economic moments. By helping to build environmental concerns into core Treasury policy we can ensure that the restoration of nature and action to tackle climate change is supported by economic policies.
Our work
Jobs for a green recovery: levelling up through nature
Using expert analysis commissioned from WPI Economics, we looked at the potential for new jobs in nature restoration across Britain. We revealed that areas with the greatest employment challenges, including many ‘Red Wall’ areas, have significant potential for new skilled green jobs, eg in seagrass planting, tree planting, wetlands and peatland restoration.
Levelling up through circular economy jobs
With so much potential for a more circular economy, we researched new job opportunities across repair, reuse, recycling and remanufacturing. We found that 450,000 jobs could be created in these industries by 2035, and many of these would be in regions where jobs are needed most, across the North, the Midlands and Wales.
Green Economy Partnership (Green Renewal Legacy project)
We are continuing the green renewal work into 2022 with an economic partnership of environmental NGOs working jointly to support the sector with analysis and messaging for key economic moments. By helping to build environmental concerns into core Treasury policy we can ensure that the restoration of nature and action to tackle climate change is supported by economic policies.
