]]> This report was commissioned by the Greens in the European Parliament and examines recovery plans and financial instruments for a “green modernisation of Europe”. The study was carried out by the Wuppertal Institute and focuses on climate, environment and energy aspects of the Green New Deal.

Jean Lambert MEP commented:

“Europe urgently needs a Green New Deal: a truly sustainable economic recovery to respond to the current converging crises of peak oil, climate change and economic recession. Despite all the green talk in Europe, this new study exposes that the EU and its Member States are lagging behind. The EU must seize the opportunity to tackle climate change, switch to a more sustainable development path and create green jobs.”

]]> Jean’s 2008 report, Green Work: Employment and skills – the climate change challenge, investigates the need for greater investment in green industries and skills for workers in the transformation to a low-carbon economy.

It looks at the situation at London, UK and European levels, and makes recommendations to develop key sectors, invest in green skills, and to work with trade unions and businesses to green workplaces. Given the urgent challenge of climate change and current economic problems, Green Work calls for greater investment in green jobs and training, which will benefit the environment and make the economy more sustainable. It also idenfies a number of barriers inhibiting greater progress, and calls for their removal.

Hard copies of Green Work are available from Jean’s London office on request.
