A study conducted by the administrative consulting company “Deloitte” revealed that more than 800 million jobs around the world are affected by climate change and the transformation of renewable energy, which is hostile to a quarter of the total workforce worldwide today.
In the same way that the opportunity of creating more jobs is more likely to occur in the Asia-Pacific and Africa area, so is the danger of job loss.
The study found that the industries of agriculture, energy, mining, industry, transportation, and construction are most impacted by climate change.
According to Bernard Lorents, a climate specialist at “Deloitte,” some of these industries are on the verge of transformation because of their high carbon dioxide emission levels, while others, like agriculture, are threatened by floods, extreme heat, or storms.
“Through the proper creation of the transition process, the elimination of carbon can offer more than 300 million extra employment by 2050, including 21 million in Europe, 180 million in the Asia-Pacific area, 75 million in Africa, and 26 million in the Americas.
He added that the “weak areas” will have to invest in developing a “green” workforce, explaining that the fastest and planned transition towards a carbon -free economy may guarantee more fair wages and better working conditions all over the world.
According to Deloitte partner Marin Hobbtman, “the key is the investment in boosting skills – from school and university education through vocational training and further education.”
Politicians and businesses should consider this to be one of their top concerns. ”.
