Green collar jobs central to Wales’ COVID-19 recovery’
The Welsh Conservatives’ Shadow Minister for Climate Change, Energy and Rural Affairs – Janet Finch-Saunders MS – has today (22 July) urged the Welsh Government to carefully target their economic recovery schemes to stimulate ‘long-term green collar jobs’ that aides those sectors hardest hit by the COVID-19 pandemic.
Her comments come as Prime Minister Boris Johnson announced that a £350 million is being made available to cut emissions in heavy industry and drive economic recovery from coronavirus. The investment package will help businesses to decarbonise across the heavy industry, construction, space and transport sectors and to secure the UK’s place at the forefront of green innovation.
