Green Industry Overview

Green industry jobs include any employment that positively impacts our planet and forms a critical part of our low carbon future. Green industry jobs consist of opportunities in renewable energy, low carbon technology and a range of jobs in the environment and energy sectors.

Businesses nationwide have contributed to the rise of green industry jobs, ensuring sufficient support to enable people to access careers within the green economy. Individuals from all communities and social backgrounds must be part of this low carbon transition.

Green jobs have the potential to generate long-term employment for many people in the UK and create healthier, happier, and greener communities. There are targets set to invest in green job development. By 2030, the UK Government has promised to deliver two million jobs in a nationwide effort to build back greener. The UK target of reaching net-zero emissions by 2050 will require considerable effort and expansion of the existing workforce in renewable energy, building green infrastructure and focusing on projects like retrofitting our housing.

Recent studies suggest that job creation in tree planting, developing green spaces in urban areas, and coastal restoration could generate 16,000 new roles for over 120 communities most affected by the pandemic.

The movement towards a greener society means polluting jobs, such as those reliant on fossil fuels, will have to be replaced with greener ones to enable a realistic transition so everyone can be part of the movement towards a low carbon future.

The latest figures for green jobs measure green industry employment until 2019, recording 202,100 full-time positions in the low-carbon and renewable energy economy before the pandemic. The Government has pledged to increase the number of green industry jobs in the UK as part of its ten-point plan to achieve a green industry transformation.

A total of two million green jobs have been promised by 2030, and in 2020 a Green Jobs Taskforce was created to focus specifically on developing these roles.

Recent reports suggest that the average full-time green industry position pays, on average, £37,190 per year, 18% higher than the national average and 30% higher than jobs within the existing carbon-intensive sectors. Certain regions are more likely to see higher job developments and a boost in salaries in others, but some of these areas currently contain higher levels of unemployment. According to recent studies, the North-west, Yorkshire, and the Humber are forecast to benefit from new green industry jobs due to the shift in industrial and manufacturing hubs in these areas. Locations predicted to create fewer roles than the average include London and the South-East.

The UK’s underlying target for green jobs is to increase the low-carbon and environmental sectors to incorporate two million full-time based roles by 2030.
