Back in the day those, including me, who worked on many different versions of the #greendeal all focused on the win-win scenarios ... #greenjobs #greengrowth #justtransition etc. and tho the context has changed completely this win-win farming remains even in the year 2023
Had we mobilised on a war-footing back then, invested at scale, imposed #carbontaxes, innovated like mad & massively increased financial & technological support 4 developing economies to shun coal & adopt #renewables, the #greendeal may have worked, albeit not without real costs

4) EU/ international cooperation; 5) short-term measures & 6) others. Central themes are a focus on the green job potential of a green recovery and an emphasis that cooperation beyond the nation is a precondition after containment phases is done.

We need a new definition of green jobs, in particular, one that matches the goals of the current movement for a #GreenNewDeal. A THREAD 1/
When you look at green jobs literature, and listen to activists and politicians talk about the sector, you’ll hear a range of ideas about what green jobs are. If we are going to create millions of them, we should know what we’re talking about. 2/
According to the BLS, a green job is specifically related to improving the environment. But the #GreenNewDeal is about improving peoples’ LIVES. It’s no longer practical or theoretically cogent (or inspiring!) to separate a sustainable environment from a sust society/economy. 3/
It was a great pleasure to today host a one of a kind #forestry #WaterStewardship workshop with members of the SA forestry industry under the theme "Water Source Partnerships: collaboration for a water secure future"
On the back of the launch of the #WaterMasterPlan yesterday, @ColvinH2O opened the workshop with a fresh perspective on the role of the #forestry sector in the "just transition to a green economy" #WaterStewardship #Partnerships
A conversation on 'unlocking the catchment economy' is an essential one that must be had between the #forestry and #water sector @ColvinH2O added #ForestWaterNexus #CollectiveAction
