The Institute of Environmental Management and Assessment (IEMA) has launched a guide to greener jobs for the net zero transition.
Green Horizons: A Workforce Fit for Tomorrow, is a new digital series spotlighting the growing demand for green jobs and the skills needed to drive the UK’s transition to a net-zero economy.
Developed in partnership with Content With Purpose (CWP), the series showcases voices from across sectors including infrastructure, nature conservation, finance and hospitality.
It highlights the role green jobs play in driving economic growth, with the UK’s net-zero economy growing by 10% annually and now supporting over one million jobs, according to CBI Economics.
