Two major unions, GMB and Prospect, emphasize the urgent need for the Labour government to enhance the creation of green jobs. They warn that without significant progress, support for the transition to clean energy may diminish, risking a shift towards parties that oppose net zero. The unions have launched Climate Jobs UK to ensure energy workers are integral to the debate on decarbonisation. Research indicates a majority of the public favors the creation of jobs in low carbon energy as the fossil fuel sector declines.
The UK must ramp up the creation of green jobs, as the phase-out of fossil fuels risks losing public support for net zero transition and political backing.
Without tangible progress in green job creation, public support for the transition risks being undermined, leading voters to consider parties opposing net zero.
