Developed by Beyond Zero Emissions, the Million Jobs Plan provides a framework to deliver one million new jobs in clean energy and low emissions sectors to help rebuild Australia’s post-COVID economy.
In the first phase of this plan, BZE have identified seven key sectors across our economy where strategic investment over the next five years would have the most impact and create the most jobs:
- Energy
- Building
- Manufacturing
- Transport
- Recycling
- Land Use
- Training
It is identified that these jobs can be distributed around Australia, including in cities and regions already under pressure from the closure of traditional heavy industry and manufacturing, historical droughts and fires, and high unemployment. Alongside the delivery of practical projects and modernisation of our industries, the Plan includes a focus on reskilling existing workforces to support their transition to clean energy and low emissions sectors.
The next stage of the projectwill include shortlisting several priority projects across Australia that will be presented to the government over the coming months, along with the private investors and partnerships needed to realise these projects.
