This briefing examines jobs in Scotland’s harder-to-decarbonise manufacturing sectors at risk of being offshored without timely and worker-friendly climate action. It finds that between 9,700 and 16,700 direct jobs could be offshored if Scotland falls behind other countries in taking action to reduce emissions from manufacturing and heavy industry. When supply chains are accounted for, a total of 24,430 jobs could be at risk. The STUC is calling on the Scottish Government to work with unions to future-proof jobs at risk of offshoring, ensure policy ambition matches climate targets, ensure local content is used in renewable energy projects, develop a publicly-owned energy company and develop a National Infrastructure Company. It is also calling on the UK Government to increase public investment.
