Clean Energy Job Growth Is Booming in Canada – Below 2C
A significant part of Canada’s energy sector has been booming in recent years—but has anybody noticed?
Canada’s
clean energy sector employed 298,000 Canadians as of 2017. What’s more,
it’s growing in value by 4.8% every year—a third faster than Canada’s
economy as a whole (3.6%).
But while political fights
over oil pipelines dominate headlines, the clean energy sector is seldom
discussed. In short, we’re missing a big piece of Canada’s energy
picture.
Clean Energy Canada partnered with Navius Research to produce a unique, thorough and up-to-date report
that explores clean energy, delving into investment in the sector and
the resulting jobs and contribution to the Canadian economy.
