The document discusses preparing the workforce for jobs in the growing low carbon economy. It outlines that the UK aims to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 80% by 2050 to mitigate climate change. This low carbon transition is expected to create many new jobs in areas like renewable energy, energy efficiency retrofits, and low carbon exports. However, barriers include a lack of understanding about "green" jobs and a need to better prepare future business and political leaders. Both further and higher education are expanding course offerings related to low carbon topics to help develop the necessary skills. Local examples highlight the scale of the transition needed in areas like retrofitting homes and training demand for renewable technology jobs.
