Guaranteeing a good job building a caring and sustainable society to everyone who wants one isn’t just possible, it’s necessary.
We have a 10 year window to limit the worst impacts of climate change.
Everyone deserves a good job, great public services and a safe climate. A Climate Jobs Guarantee could be the cornerstone of an ambitious response to the climate crisis that would transform our society and improve the lives of millions of people.
The Climate Jobs Guarantee is a transformative plan that will create millions of good jobs in every sector. We can rapidly decarbonise in all industries and rebuild vital community services, securing a safer future for all of us.
Solving the climate crisis is too important to be left in the hands of big business. We need sustained action, coordinated by the government in the hands of the public.
Our politicians have a choice to make: bend to the will of big business or choose a people-first recovery that makes society better than it was before the pandemic.
Principles
We are building an unstoppable movement of young people to win public and political support for this transformative idea. But turning this idea into reality is going to take more than just us.
To guide the conversation we have developed these 5 criteria for what any Climate Jobs Guarantee proposal must meet to get our movement’s support.
A Climate Jobs Guarantee will…
solve the climate crisis
There is so much good work that needs to be done to solve the climate crisis. It will take millions of people to create a renewable energy grid, build energy efficient houses, care for the elderly, teach our children and create vibrant cultural lives for our communities. A Climate Jobs Guarantee will create good jobs that solve the climate crisis and improve millions of people’s lives.
