What exactly is a green job and why do we need a just transition?Green jobs should be an answer to address both the urgent economic and environmental needs for society, but what exactly are they? And how do we ensure that in the transition to a new green economy that no one is left behind?This week on the A Moment of Change podcast we’re joined by Denis Fernando, a climate campaigner from Friends of the Earth and Gerry Grattan, a fellow of the On Purpose London programme to discuss green jobs, a just transition, and more personal transitions into the environmental and impact sector. In this episode with Denis we discuss insights from Friends of the Earth’s report An Emergency Plan on Green Jobs for Young People, building the case for green job creation particularly for young people, and the role that the state, business and individuals can play to achieve this.
