Two major UK unions are urging the government to accelerate the creation of green jobs as the country moves away from fossil fuels. GMB and Prospect say energy workers need to see real employment opportunities in their communities or risk turning to parties that oppose net zero goals. The new Climate Jobs UK campaign highlights concerns that the current transition feels imposed rather than inclusive. Without visible progress on job creation, unions warn that public support for clean energy could weaken.
