In Spain, every ‘green job’ created led to the loss of 2.2 others in the real economy.

Meanwhile one of Jeremy Corbyn’s MPs, Laura Smith, the Labour MP for Crewe and Nantwich, has called for a general strike to help bring down the Conservative government – if there isn’t a general election.

She spoke at The World Transformed festival, which is running alongside the Labour Party conference in Liverpool.

The World Transformed, or TWoT, is a partnership of unions. pressure groups. NGOs and the Rosa Luxemburg Stiftung (Brussels office)

This outfit calls for Good climate jobs and municipal solutions for a just transition to a low-carbon society.   We learn on this page that:

Sam Mason of the British union PCS pointed out that in 2006 her union had already vowed to fight climate change actively, as was the case recently in the resolution of autumn 2017. PCS supports the campaign “One million climate jobs” (one million jobs in the area of “tackling climate change”), stressing that it is not just about replacing existing jobs, but also about creating new jobs. For example it is proposed to create a “national climate service” (similar to state health care), which, as a public institution, coordinates activities to combat climate change (see publication Just Transition and Energy Democracy).
