Scotland is creating more green jobs as a proportion of the workforce than anywhere else in the UK, stats show.
Figures from accountancy giant PwC show green jobs north of the border have almost doubled in the last year. The firm's latest Green Jobs Barometer revealed 3.3 per cent of all job adverts in Scotland were roles that have a positive impact on the environment, up from 1.7 per cent in 2021.
That equates to 24,610 positions, PwC said - although warned more investment in reskilling was needed to make the most of the opportunities. It added Scotland still has a high number of "sunset jobs" in declining industries like the North Sea - but many have "highly transferable" skills for green industries.
