  5. United Nations Climate Action – On climate and jobs

A green transition, including a shift to renewable energy, will create 24 million jobs by 2030. Heat stress could reduce total working hours worldwide by 2.2 per cent – a productivity loss equivalent to 80 million full-time jobs. A circular economy, based on the principles of reduce, reuse and recycle, could create around 6 million new jobs.
