To support policy makers and other stakeholders, IRENA monitors the evolution of renewable energy jobs, forecasts employment in renewables and evaluates the wider impact of transition roadmaps on overall and sectorial jobs.
This report from the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA) outlines the evolving global and regional distribution of jobs in renewables, energy as a whole, and economy-wide.
