Ambitious climate protection could contribute to economic growth

According to Greenpeace, an ambitious climate policy and a strong economy are not mutually exclusive. According to an investigation of several scenarios by the environmental protection organization, ambitious climate protection can generate hundreds of thousands of additional jobs. On average, there will be around 275,000 additional jobs by 2030 – in the best scenario there are 1.2 million, as Greenpeace said on Friday when the study “Job Motor Climate Protection” was presented.

Two studies came to negative employment effects – they examined the effects in the coal sector as well as the change of drive in the automotive industry.
