Working for the climate

The Energy [R]evolution report showed how, technically and financially, the world could increase its production of renewable energy by nine times. Now, the 'Working for the Climate' report demonstrates how this increase in renewable energy, combined with the massive energy efficiency measures required by the the Energy [R]evolution, would not just avoid over 470 million tons of carbon dioxide emissions in OECD Europe, but would create 30% more jobs by 2020 than if we continue investing in fossil and nuclear fuels. The report finds that over three hundred and eighty thousand jobs would be created in renewables and energy efficiency over the next decade, as opposed to some fifty thousand that would be lost in the coal and nuclear sectors.
