A Plan for green buildings, jobs and prosperity for Ontario
-
Description
-
This report looks at how Ontario could replace fossil gas for everything from home heating to industrial uses as part of a plan to dramatically reduce Ontario's greenhouse gas emissions. It also outlines how embracing a pathway toward reducing gas use can create good green jobs in Ontario in everything from home retrofits to deploying renewable energy. It explains various mechanisms that can be used to make this pathway economically and environmentally successful for Canada's largest province.

Energy scenario: Employment implications of the Paris Climate Agreement
-
Description
-
This report explores the potential employment and economic impacts of an EU transition to a low-carbon economy by 2030 – on the EU, and on other regions of the world. It analyses the impacts across sectors and occupations, with a particular focus on manufacturing. The report highlights that the impact of such a transition is positive for the EU as a whole, although with considerable variation between sectors. The positive impact on employment is largely due to the investment required to achieve this transition, along with the impact of lower spending on imported fossil fuels. The consequent shift in production has implications for labour market demand. The analysis provides information on sectoral impacts, together with the Warwick Labour Market Extension model for occupational analysis. Further analysis of the employment developments in Europe is undertaken using Eurofound's European Jobs Monitor.

Canada's Energy Sector: Status, evolution, revenue, employment, production forecasts, emissions and implications for emissions reduction
-
Description
-
This report by veteran earth scientist David Hughes analyzes the state of the oil and gas sector in Canada and finds that while production is increasing, jobs and revenues paid to government are decreasing. The report finds the oil and gas sector alone will cause Canada to fail to meet its Paris Agreement target of a 40 per cent reduction by 2030, set by Prime Minister Trudeau at President Biden's recent climate summit Hughes finds the sector will also cause Canada to miss its "net zero" target by 2050 as laid out in Bill C-12. It details how the sector no longer contributes like it once did to government revenues in Canada, and jobs in the sector are down by more than 50,000 from their 2014 peak and are unlikely to return—even with production at record highs. The report concludes that continuing on the country's current path for the oil and gas sector makes meeting Canada's emissions-reduction targets impossible. It recommends a stark change in direction to meet the targets, including a rethink of oil and gas exports and the development of a plan for the future that includes a just transition for workers. It also finds that planned expansions of the TMX and Line 3 pipelines are not needed because Canada already has enough pipeline capacity to transport the amount of oil the Canada Energy Regulator is projecting for export through 2050.
