Working for the Climate: the impacts of the global Energy [R]evolution

How many clean energy jobs can we create around the world by switching to a clean energy pathway? How is employment affected when a country shifts from a fossil fuel- energy supply to one based on renewable energy and energy efficiency? What policies and campaigns do environmental organisations like Greenpeace need to pursue to make these clean energy jobs a reality?

Sven Teske will present an engaging analysis of his research into employment in the renewable energy industry and discuss how we can campaign for the best outcomes for clean energy jobs in Australia.

An engineering graduate, Sven has worked in the field of renewable energy for over 20 years. He informs and advises a range of energy industry associations, including the European Renewable Energy Council, Global Wind Energy Association and the International Energy Agency.

We will also have on display the winning 30 designs from the Greenpeace Design Awards 2009. With over 1400 entries from around the world submitted, this is an exciting opportunity to see cutting edge creativity that makes a difference.

Places are limited so please RSVP and be sure to include the name of the event and the names of your guests.

We look forward to seeing you there.
