Making green jobs accessible
A plan for employers and Government
Home » Resource hub »
The research forms part of our Everyone’s Environment programme and is delivered in partnership with Groundwork, with funding from the EY Foundation.
The UK is investing heavily in the transition to a greener economy. But there’s a growing risk at its core: the people these jobs are meant for don’t always see them as jobs for them.
Research with young people, particularly those from low-income backgrounds, shows a clear disconnect. The term ‘green jobs’ is often unclear, sometimes unappealing, and rarely how young people search for or think about their futures. Instead, they’re focused on something more immediate and universal: secure, well-paid work with clear pathways and progression.
Our report on Making green jobs accessible is launching on the 28 April 2026.
