UN: Tackling Climate Change Will Boost - Not Destroy - Jobs

The latest report has been hailed as crucial to overcoming global resistance from the labour movement, which for many years opposed the Kyoto agreement to cut greenhouse gas emissions amid fears that members would lose their jobs.

 

Far from destroying jobs, tackling climate change will boost employment, claims a major new report published today by the UN and the international labour movement.

The Green Jobs study goes even further than the British government's Stern report in 2006, which urged countries to invest money in reducing emissions and adapting to climate change to avoid much greater costs later.
