Energy members briefing - clean jobs plan

After last summer’s climate change-fuelled bushfires, many communities are still doing it tough. And hundreds of thousands of Australians are out of work due to COVID-19. We need to be creating jobs now, and solving long-term problems. The Climate Council has developed a Clean Jobs Plan that provides a whole-of-economy solution. They’ve identified twelve policy opportunities to deliver 76,000 jobs that re-engineer our energy system, renew industries and restore our environment - all at the same time. In South Australia, they’ve identified many jobs that can be created quickly. The top three job creators they have identified for South Australia are: •    Utility-scale renewable energy •    Ecosystem restoration •    Residential building retrofitting The Climate Council have offered to brief ASU members working in energy and answer your questions via zoom on Tuesday 22 September at 12:30pm. Let us know you can attend by emailing union@asu-sant.asn.au to book your spot.
