Question to the Department for Energy Security & Net Zero:
To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, how many jobs the Green Jobs Delivery Group has delivered to date; and if he will set annual green job delivery targets for each year to 2030 for each industrial sector.
The Powering Up Britain plan sets out how the Government will grow the economy whilst decarbonising and supporting up to 480,000 jobs in 2030. Over 80,000 jobs are being supported or in the pipeline because of new government policies and spending since 2020.
The Government does not plan to set job targets, but is focused on delivering green jobs. In 2024, the Green Jobs Delivery Group will publish a Net Zero and Nature Workforce Action Plan.
