Renewable Energy and Jobs: Annual Review 2023
Publication Year: 2023
Author(s): International Renewable Energy Agency, International Labour Organization
Abstract:
The report provides the latest estimates of renewable energy employment globally and an overview of the renewable energy employment landscape as of 2022. It discusses deployment trends and policy contexts in selected countries. The report highlights growing interest in localising supply chains, driven not only by concerns about possible disruptions due to natural disasters, trade disputes or geopolitical rivalries but also by interest in boosting domestic value creation and jobs. Numerous countries are adopting industrial policy strategies to this end, while many resource-rich countries are taking steps to move beyond being suppliers of raw materials. The report emphasises that education and training programmes must be expanded to prevent the widening of skill gaps. Such measures must be paired with efforts to tap talent among under-represented groups including women, youth and minorities. It also notes that labour rights and social dialogue are indispensable for an energy transition that produces a truly just transition for all. Achieving the energy transition in a manner consistent with climate stability requires much faster renewables’ deployment, in turn creating more jobs; but it also demands broader, systemic change, to make the economy more compatible with planetary limits.
