The report, Green Jobs: It’s time to build Alberta’s future, was commissioned by Greenpeace, Sierra Club Prairie and the Alberta Federation of Labour and outlines a strategy for creating green jobs in Alberta.

Environmental problems are increasingly seen as challenges to be overcome, and as opportunities to create good jobs cleaning up the environment.

The report demonstrates that the days are numbered for the myth of jobs vs the environment. The emerging cooperation between labour and environmental groups is creating a new way to see the environment and the economy. About 20,000 new, green jobs could be created in Alberta this year and 200,000 jobs could be created over time through the strategy in the Green Jobs report.
