Low-carbon and renewable economy could create 700,000 jobs by 2030, report says

The LGA's "Local green jobs" report showed demand for environmentally friendly jobs would rapidly increase as the UK transitions to a net zero emissions economy.
It also suggested that focussing on a low-carbon economy could help to counter job losses caused by the coronavirus pandemic, which are likely to increase further when the government's furlough scheme ends later this year.
