Recommendation

The European Union’s evolution to sustainable green energy will affect its job growth and economic development. This thorough, data-dependent, multidisciplinary report from the Centre for European Policy Studies, a leading European think tank, provides welcome insights into what that transition will entail. The study concludes that green energy should create more and better-paying jobs in Poland, Sweden and Spain, the EU countries it analyzes, along with greater energy security through the expanded use of wind, nuclear and solar power. Though the text can be dry and plodding at times, getAbstract recommends its instructive conclusions to executives, policy makers, environmentalists and investors seeking evidence that sustainable energy can produce jobs.

Take-Aways

  • By 2050, the EU wants to cut its greenhouse gas emissions to 80% of 1990 levels.
  • European society and consumption patterns will change as the EU’s economy moves from an industrial model to one based on sustainable energy.
  • Since 1996, Europe has promoted the use of renewable energy sources (RES) as a way of halting global temperature increases.
