Danny Sriskandarajah wrote for the New Statesman on why we need a national skilling wage to reach net zero.
“This month, a report by my colleagues at the New Economics Foundation (NEF) revealed the gap between promises of a green transition and the reality of a workforce that isn’t ready to deliver on the necessary scale. They showed that we won’t be able to meet grand targets to insulate houses from across the political spectrum – a critical part of reaching our net zero commitments – unless we invest in upskilling people.”
