THE UK Government’s post-Brexit anti-immigration policies are a threat to Scotland’s Just Transition to net zero, a report on green jobs has suggested.
Management consultancy firm PricewaterhouseCoopers, in their second annual Green Jobs Barometer analysis, noted a “significant” skills gap in the UK that cannot be addressed by the existing energy workforce.
It also found Scotland is creating a higher proportion of green jobs than elsewhere in the UK, but also cautioned that a disproportionate number of jobs are being created in London and the South East of England. One in five new green jobs are based in the capital.
