Working to refine and improve underlying data on estimates of the global renewables workforce, this report presents an overview of the renewable energy employment landscape in relation to policy contexts and pandemic impacts.
To accelerate a sustainable energy transition through the use of renewables, employment must operate upon recognized labour standards, national legislation and collective bargaining throughout relevant industries. Upon considering the obstacles that emerge through existing socioeconomic factors, the report suggests increasing accessibility to education, skills and training to assist those in the workforce.
The annual review also puts forth ambitious climate action to develop a holistic policy framework that not only identifies key challenges, but also suggests alternative solutions for a just transition. The pandemic has negatively impacted a range of marginalized groups, calling for more inclusive and immediate climate objectives as well.
