Climate, energy and all things interesting. Just transition and what it means for workers.
Living in Puotila, Helsinki with wife and three kids. 🇫🇮🇩🇪🇪🇺(🇺🇸 😢)

This latest @iea.org estimate of the changes to the previous estimate (2024) shows that Global South is increasing the speed towards renewable energy whereas specially USA is slowing pace.
USA will also see increase of renewable energy, but politics are taking its toll.

Like Soviet Union in 1930s, denouncing one another to get their place in fromt of the Great Leader.

Kiitos myös Suomen Tuulivoimayhdistys kun pidätte työllisyyttä ja osaamista esillä.

Ilo huomata, että osaavan työvoiman saatavuus nostettiin yhdeksi Suomen vihreän siirtymän peruskiveksi myös ministeri Sari Multalan puolelta #kokoomus -vaaliristeilyllä.
Se on tärkeää paristakin syystä:

An interesting topic immediately in the aftermath of #COP29.
Just transition event by @sorsafoundation @tiedekulma.

The importance of Just Transition is growing all the time, otherwise politics will turn against the green transition. Signs of that are already visible.

Today visited the Finnish National Commission on Sustainable Development meeting held in the Parliament of Finland.
(Led by prime minister Orpo)
Happy to hear that just transition and need for re- and up-skilling workers is gaining some traction.
They still need more attention, but getting better.

If we want to succeed with Green Transition, we need to stress worker training a lot more, for many reasons.

”Training trade workers to fill clean energy roles can address labour shortages & bring benefits like saved time & higher wages”

IEA's World Energy Employment 2024 published: 👷🏻‍♀️Green transition employment is growing and the sector employs more than the fossil energy sector 💰Green transition investments in clear growth 👨🏼‍💻 The importance of investing in skills and in just transition is increasing

When discussing climate action and the green transition, one should remember:

1. The green transition is lot cheaper than inaction – technology is getting better and cheaper, while price of inaction rises

2. Some countries import fossil energy, some export – so geopolitics play a big role #cop29

💰In 2023 clean energy added around USD 320 billion to the world economy

📈In the EU clean energy accounted for nearly one-third of GDP growth in 2023

👷🏻‍♀️Employment in clean energy jobs exceeded that of fossil fuels in 2021 and continues to grow
