This paper assesses the impacts of climate policies for the global, national and sectoral economies at the macro, system-wide level. It reframes the debate on the macroeconomic effects of greenhouse gas (GHG) mitigation in terms of net benefits to the economy rather than net costs, drawing on the same modelling and other literature as the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change’s Fourth Assessment Report.

This is the proceedings of a forum conducted on 30 September 2008 in Manila, Philippines. The forum intended to look at the 'green jobs' that could be created through utilization of alternative and renewable energy sources and introduction of 'green technologies' in the production process and in the delivery of services. Moreover, the forum sought to explore public and private initiatives towards this direction and their implication on the job creation goal of national government. In particular, it sought to identify some of the economic sectors and initiatives where green jobs will play a pivotal role and which appear to have significant potential for job creation.

This pamphlet is designed to inform and stimulate debate on the most pressing issues facing British policymakers. Environmental transition and the rush to cut carbon emissions could herald another painful era of industrial re-structuring, with many jobs at risk. This pamphlet argues that the Government should be proactive in its planning so that costs and benefits are shared and social justice is maintained.

This study looks at the skills profile of green jobs in the European Union and how it needs to change in the future. This is important as the skills profile will change as green jobs change, and skills will be key to delivering environment objectives. The study notes the poor data at present on green skills, and the need to better understand them and to forecast how they will change in the future. This would help us to develop the green skills needed in the future. A number of sectors already face skill shortages needed for green jobs. Finally, the study provides potential areas for future research.

dThe report shows that climate change is not just a future scenario. Increased exposure to droughts, floods and storms is already destroying opportunity and reinforcing inequality. The report argues that climate change poses challenges at many levels. In a divided but ecologically interdependent world, it challenges all people to reflect upon how we manage the environment of planet Earth. It challenges us to reflect on social justice and human rights across countries and generations. It challenges political leaders and people in rich nations to acknowledge their historic responsibility for the problem, and to initiate deep and early cuts in greenhouse gas emissions. Above all, it challenges the entire human community to undertake prompt and strong collective action based on shared values and a shared vision.

This ongoing series presents research linking U.S. jobs with selected low-carbon technologies that can help combat global warming. In the series, it asks, “In a new global economy increasingly affected by the threat of climate change, what are the U.S. job opportunities in technologies that can reduce carbon emissions?” The series builds upon a five-technology report released in November 2008 with subsequent new chapters made available throughout 2009.

The report indicates that Australia has an opportunity to turn action to combat environmental challenges into growth of the green economy. This report identifies six key green industries where Australia has natural competitive advantages, which could be enhanced and commercialized
with supportive policies and measures. It states that with the right policy settings, six market sectors currently valued at $US15.5 billion and employing 112,000 people could grow by 2030 to a value of $243 billion and 847,000 jobs. This report details the kinds of government support that may provide the most value for Australia’s green industries.
