Enabling a fair energy transition for workers and communities.
This area aims to understand the workforce needs for the energy transition, to enable sufficient training and skills programmes. This is needed so benefits can be shared with local and regional communities. Our work here responds to questions such as:
- How many jobs are created by renewable energy and energy efficiency?
- What are the employment implications of the energy transition?
- How can a ‘just transition’ of jobs from fossil fuels to renewables be organised?
- What skills are required for employment in the renewable energy sector?
- How can we energy policy maximise employment for local communities, and especially for First Nations and other under-represented groups within the energy sector?
