From green jobs to Green New Deal: What are the questions?

Frank Stilwell

The Economic and Labour Relations Review, 2021, vol. 32, issue 2, 155-169

Abstract: Proposals for development of ‘green jobs’ emerged when environmentalists, labour organisations and political economists recognised the need for economic restructuring to reduce climate change. Current proposals for a Green New Deal go further by putting additional emphasis on fiscal stimulus, ‘just transition’, reducing socio-economic inequalities, and political empowerment. This article analyses the development of this more comprehensive policy approach, its rationale, the constraints it would face and its prospects in the Australian context.
