Green Jobs - Executive Summary

September 2011

The Prospects for Green Jobs to 2020 is a major piece of research commissioned by Yorkshire Cities. 

The research provides:

  • robust evidence on the current numbers of green jobs
  • a checklist of major green assets
  • projections of job creation by 2020 in the major green and low carbon sectors of the economy
  • recommendations for policies and actions that should be pursued by councils, LEPs and other bodies to maximise the job creation potential of the green economy  

The Executive Summary sets out the main findings and policy & action areas for areas across Yorkshire & Humber.

A number of additional reports for LEP and local authority areas are also available - please visit the Green Jobs page on this site for more information.
