Adapting Canadian Work and Workplaces (ACW)

Abstract

This report reviews the literature assessing the needs and requirements of workers affected by the low-carbon transition, and discusses the issues in the context of the New Brunswick power system. The goal is to better understand the training needs associated with renewable energy and energy efficiency job projections. The authors note however that there is a greater need to better integrate climate change and low-carbon economy discussions into a broader discourse on the nature of work. The paper concludes with recommendations for a low-carbon electricity system transition jobs plan for New Brunswick.
