Low-carbon jobs fell after Cameron’s kibosh on ‘green crap’ policies – study

Exclusive: proportion of green job openings in UK ‘declined significantly’ after 2012, analysis shows

Job opportunities in Britain’s low-carbon economy have fallen sharply since David Cameron’s government decided to cut policies he described as “green crap”, with fewer vacancies now available as a share of the economy than in 2012, a study reveals.

Academics at the London School of Economics’ Grantham Research Institute on Climate Change and the Environment found the proportion of green job openings being advertised in the UK “declined significantly” after 2012.
