In this research note, we developed a way of thinking about the effects of a greening economy on the labour market, based on a similar study in the US. Whilst the EU labour market is not the same as the US labour market, leaning on the analysis for the Department of Labor in 2009 (Rivkin et al. 2009) allows us a first cut at the effects on jobs. We divided the effects into four main ones: increased demand for existing green skills in jobs; jobs with skills that would need to be enhanced during the green transition; and new jobs with new skills to support and further the green economy. Importantly, we took a much wider view of green jobs than just those that are usually associated with explicitly green, recycling, and other environmentally sustainable jobs in ‘environmental goods and services sectors’ (EGSS).
