Unlocking green jobs: the economic and environmental benefits of clean construction
New research from C40 Cities highlights the socio-economic benefits of adopting clean construction practices in cities, including the creation of millions of green jobs. The study, covering cities like Bogotá, London, and Oslo, projects job growth in sectors such as building maintenance and low-carbon materials.
Transitioning to clean construction will not only reduce emissions but also improve air quality, enhance housing, and create more inclusive job opportunities.
Cities like London and Madrid are leading efforts, but success depends on collaboration between governments, businesses, and workers.
The research emphasises the importance of policies promoting equity and better working conditions in the construction sector.
