How we are supporting impacted workers
The transformation to net zero will involve economic change. If well managed this will minimise the disruptions and generate new opportunities for regions to create good jobs, strong local economies and thriving communities.
We will ensure workers in emissions-intensive industries are supported during the transition to take advantage of new opportunities within their regional economy.
We understand the transition will have broader flow-on effects beyond direct workers and we are committed to supporting these communities by offering appropriate support services.
