A recent Clean Energy Canada report revealed that there would be 700,000 more energy jobs in 2050 than exist today if Canada and the world reach net zero, with growth in clean energy jobs outpacing declines in fossil fuels. Meanwhile, the federal government recently launched a series of sustainable jobs plans to ready the workforce for this inevitable energy transition.
Our webinar, What net zero means for Canadian energy jobs, dove into our latest modelling of Canadian energy jobs in a net-zero world, and featured a discussion and Q&A with labour and industry leaders: General Motors’ David Paterson, the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers’ Matt Wayland, and Chandos Construction’s Jen Hancock.
