Green jobs and the transition to clean construction
This policy report, titled 'Building Greener Cities: Green Job Opportunities in Clean Construction', explores the transition to clean construction, emphasising its potential to reduce environmental impacts, create green jobs, and address urban housing and inequality challenges.
Key findings reveal that adopting clean construction will generate more jobs compared to continuing with high-carbon practices. To ensure a just transition, built environment policies, such as procurement, construction permits, and upskilling programmes, must prioritise equity, diversity, and inclusion.
The research highlights that key policy levers for a green and just transition mostly already exist at the city level. However, the transition will require both public and private investment, which will be offset by long-term benefits.
