Scotland,Green Industrial Strategy,Just Transition

The Scottish Government's talk of a 'just transition' in the energy sector is being questioned as multinational companies and foreign-owned firms profit from Scotland's clean energy sector while Scottish jobs decline.

With our energy system and our economy changing before our eyes, the Scottish Government talks a good game on a “just transition” – but to many, it seems like little more than a slogan.

But over the same period, the number of Scottish jobs in these new industries actually fell – by about 4000. That’s worrying because we know we need to ensure jobs are in place for the industries of the future to ease the transition away from North Sea oil and gas.
