South London Partnership Green Jobs and Skills Report - Business Launch

South London Partnership

Learn more about how you can  adapt your South London business to capitalise on the expanding Green Economy.

There is a focus nationally and locally on the opportunities that green skills and the green economy can bring. In order to ensure that South London is able to capitalise on these opportunities for our residents and our businesses, the South London Partnership commissioned a Green Jobs and Skills Report to define green jobs, identify the scale of growth of this sector and the specific skills and jobs that will be required in South London. This report will form the basis for planning co-ordinated work on green skills in South London as an area that crosses borough and sector boundaries and where collaborative working can deliver improved outcomes for residents and businesses.To get this work started we would like to invite you to the launch of the report where you will hear the key findings from the report authors, WPI Economics, as well as speakers from RetrofitWorks, Scotscape Urban Greening and The Happy Ocean Company. The focus will be on how we can work collaboratively to capitalise this opportunity whilst supporting the decarbonisation of business.The event will be part of a Green Economy Week from 28th February- 4th March to discuss the barriers preventing green growth in our sub-region and catalyse productive discussions between Local Government, Educators and Businesses to develop plans to address them.Speakers:Russell Smith, RetrofitWorksRussell is Founder and Director of the RetrofitWorks, a multi-stakeholder cooperative driving a market for smaller firms to stoke the national roll-out of low energy renovation led by community-based organisations that understand the householders they represent.
