Cornwall Green Jobs Summit

Who
All job seekers

What

Cornwall has a major role to play in tackling the climate and nature emergencies. But do we have the skilled workforce for delivery?

About this event

To meet our net zero ambitions, we need to transform our industries, farming, homes and transport as well as increase our renewable energy generation. But do we have the skilled workforce to deliver the progress we need in the next decade? Do young people see a pathway to their future careers in Cornwall? Will Green Jobs be well-paid, secure, and accessible for all?

This Cornwall Green Jobs Summit will examine where we are now and what we need to do to realise the huge potential for rewarding, skilled, and genuinely ‘green’ jobs in Cornwall – and ask policy makers to respond to that challenge.

Expert contributors will guide discussions on the potential impact of Green Jobs, the skills needed and how they can be developed, ensuring Green Jobs are accessible to everyone, and how the perspectives of young people can be heard.

We’ll bring together young and old job seekers, skills providers, decision-makers, trade unions, the education sector, businesses and community activists from across Cornwall to develop a shared vision for what Green Jobs mean for Cornwall, how they can be accessible for one and all, and the next steps for policy makers, schools, businesses and more.

The event will be interactive, with plenty of opportunity for everyone to contribute as well as learn.

Contributors include:

Gareth Lowe, Unite the Union

Joanie Willetts, Institute of Cornish Studies, the University of Exeter

Carolyn Cadman, Cornwall Wildlife Trust

+ others to be confirmed

The Summit is a collaboration between Friends of the Earth and the University of Exeter.
