Announced today, PwC’s Green Jobs Barometer, which is the first of its kind, is a digital analysis that tracks movements in green job creation, job losses, the carbon intensity of employment, and worker sentiment across regions and sectors in the UK.

PwC states that 1.65% of advertised jobs in the Scottish employment market are related to the net-zero transformation which is higher than any other part of the UK. PwC said that the reason for this is due to Scotland’s strong presence of energy and utility roles, in particular renewable energy.

Scotland was also found to lead the UK in green job creation within agricultural and the professional services sectors.
