The policies and proposals brought forward by the 10 Point Plan, Net Zero and Energy Security Strategies will support up to 480,000 green jobs across the UK.
Through the Offshore Wind Manufacturing Investment Scheme, the Government has made funding available to support investment in major port and manufacturing infrastructure.
The Government is also working closely with industry, the education sector and other key stakeholders through the Green Jobs Delivery Group. The Delivery Group looks at ways of ensuring all sectors of the economy and parts of the country can benefit from the green transition whilst growing green jobs opportunities.
