Rebuilding Scotland greener would create 130,000 new jobs in two years, says group Some 130,000 green jobs could be created in Scotland in the next two years if the government invests in key areas including care work and renewable energy. That is the view of Green New Deal UK which has produced an analysis that says it is enough to replace every job lost from Covid-19 and more. The non-profit group committed to social, economic and climate justice said the jobs would be created in every region of Scotland, and would rebuild our communities and create a greener Scotland . It said that ahead of the Scottish Parliament election, environment groups, trade Unions, care workers and health workers are coming together to demand all parties commit to investing in these key sectors and delivering the good green jobs needed to simultaneously rebuild from the pandemic, restore nature and tackle the climate crisis.
