Local London Green Jobs and Skills Partnership

The Local London Green Jobs and Skills Partnership was established to support residents in our sub-region capitalise upon the predicted boom in ‘green’ jobs with 110,000 roles in the green economy projected by 2050.

It brings together various organisations including local authorities, further and higher education providers, and employers to develop strategies and practical support for residents now and in the future.

London will see rapid growth in green jobs in the coming years, as the sector becomes increasingly crucial for the capital’s economy. Job growth will be fastest in industrial de-carbonisation, hydrogen and carbon capture, and low carbon transport.

In this part of London, research shows that the total number of jobs is projected to rise from 32,000 in 2020 to 110,000 in 2050, representing an above-3-fold increase.

The partnership and a new report outlining the potential of this sector for East London, was launched by Cllr Rokhsana Fiaz OBE, the Mayor of Newham, at a virtual event.  Mayor Fiaz is the lead on the Local London Green Jobs and Skills Partnership for the Local London Joint Committee.
