Workers will experience the effects of climate change in many ways: job insecurity, changes to their work tasks and responsibilities and changes in their workplaces that may involve different work practices and the development of new activities and products. Climate change is associated with higher exposure to climate change hazards that lead to lower standards of job quality, productivity loss and an increase in job and work insecurity. Nearly half of workers in the EU will experience profound changes in their job tasks as our economies adapt to climate change and implement climate mitigation strategies. This report outlines the complex relationship between job quality and climate change, including the implication of green tasks in selected sectors.
