Renewable and Green Industry
A lot of countries in the world are still adjusting to the coronavirus pandemic by hunkering down and social distancing to slow the spread of COVID-19, more and more research and statistics are being made more accessible for the public to study themselves.
Many of the research implies that the coronavirus pandemic will inevitably die down sooner or later and will pave the way for the next generation to recreate a better world. For employers in the green renewable green industry, this is absolutely possible, as more and more people are signing up to join movements and organizations that are proactive in bettering the world we live in.
Surprising Employment
Employment opportunities are an integral deliberation in strategic planning if a region wants low-carbon economic growth. The extensive acquisition of renewable energy technologies paves the way for employment opportunities up and down the supply chain. All over the world, the sector employed 11M people right before 2019, according to the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA).
Pushing for a renewable-based energy transformation, the findings say, is a chance to hit international climate goals while improving economic growth, creating millions of jobs, and invigorating human welfare.
Truly, the light is shining brightly and people have a lot to look forward to when it comes to the post-pandemic life. The industries of SunPower, biofuel, wind power, and hydropower, among other renewable and green energy industries are experiencing a spike in employment rate and career openings.
Inclusiveness and Diversity
One reason why is the green industry’s newfound inclusivity. Women and POCs, among other groups, are being given the credit they deserve. There is less bias towards these groups and the industry higher-ups are focusing on the skills and abilities the members of the green industry are bringing to the table.
To conclude, UNEP climate change expert Niklas Hagelberg has this to say about the industry:
“Renewable energy provides an opportunity for `building back better’, creating green jobs, facilitating the transition to carbon neutral economies, and protecting ourselves from future global threats, including pandemics… Humanity depends on action now for a resilient and sustainable future.”
