Committee of Supply 2021 debate, Day 4: Leon Perera on long-term job impact of global decarbonisation

Jobs affected by changes in fossil fuel demand over the longer term may eventually go beyond the refineries and include those in bunkering, rig building and other businesses in the fossil fuel industry ecosystem. In Parliament on Wednesday (Mar 3), MP Leon Perera asked for the Government's expected outlook for jobs in the oil and gas and petrochemicals industry clusters as a result of the long-term global decarbonisation trend. He suggested making career conversion programmes more targeted for workers affected by this green transition through proactive pushing out of awareness campaigns.
