What is the Clean Jobs Plan?

The Climate Council has undertaken groundbreaking modelling work with independent economic modelling experts Alpha Beta, to identify the top climate solutions in every state and territory in Australia, that can get Australians back to work and slash our carbon pollution.

The Clean Jobs plan is focused on delivering jobs where they are needed, to people who need them most.

What is the Clean Jobs Plan?

The Climate Council has undertaken groundbreaking modelling work with independent economic modelling experts Alpha Beta, to identify the top climate solutions in every state and territory in Australia, that can get Australians back to work and slash our carbon pollution.

The Clean Jobs plan is focused on delivering jobs where they are needed, to people who need them most. 

Why do we need to create clean jobs now?

The pandemic has created an urgent need for State, Territory and Federal Governments to invest in job creation. But this is an opportunity to tackle the climate and economic crises – together.

What are the Clean Job opportunities in South Australia? 

The projects, identified in the Clean Jobs Plan, would directly create more than 7,000 jobs in South Australia, including: 

  • 2,000 – 2,500 jobs in installing utility scale renewable energy.
  • 700 – 800 jobs in ecosystem restoration and revegetation.
  • 400 – 600 jobs in residential retrofitting. 

South Australia has been a leader in the transition to renewable energy and is looking at harnessing that power to produce green hydrogen. The Clean Jobs Plan finds it can capitalise on existing infrastructure to create another 200 jobs in this area. 

Significantly, investment in pilot-scale green hydrogen facilities would unlock $4 of private investment for every dollar of public investment.

Email Tips +

  • It’s better to add to and edit the email as much as possible and write your own subject line - to ensure it lands in your MP’s inbox and reflects what you want to say. Just remember, while it's important to be passionate, always be respectful and don't use inappropriate or threatening language.

  • Add a personal message to your email, to explain why this issue is important to you. You can do this by including a relevant personal anecdote or experience. For example, have you recently lost your job because of COVID-19? Would you be interested in a job in a clean energy industry if it was available to you? This will help make the issue real and tangible for your MP.

  • If your MP has made any positive steps on renewable energy and climate change, you can thank them for the action they have already taken. But make sure to make it clear what else you would like them to do.

Be sure to leave your name and contact details at the bottom, so your MP can get back to you with a response.
