S6M-12740: Katy Clark: STUC Report on Renewable Jobs - That the Parliament welcomes the publication by the Scottish Trades Union Congress of Mind the Gap, The Increasing Gulf Between Jobs and Turnover in Scotland’s Low Carbon and Renewable Energy Economy; notes with concern the report's finding that employment fell by 4,000 between 2021 and 2022 in the low carbon and renewable energy economy, despite there being a £4 billion increase in turnover for companies in the sector; understands that the low carbon and renewable energy economy’s balance of trade, measured by exports minus imports, has widened for the first time since 2018, standing at £407.5 million in 2022, the largest gap since ONS records began; further understands that no offshore wind farm in Scotland is publicly owned; notes the view that foreign capital benefits most from the current system and that wealth is being extracted from Scotland’s natural resources for the benefit of 5 PB/S6/24/072 multinationals without any adequate return for workers and communities, including in the West Scotland region; understands from the report that entities owned by the Irish, Swedish and Danish governments hold stakes in ScotWind projects, but that there is no UK or Scottish equivalent; notes the calls for the Scottish Government to explore the feasibility of using the £700 million in upfront fees that were raised during the ScotWind leasing round to establish a sovereign wealth fund for the benefit of current and future generations; further notes the STUC report’s recommendations that the Scottish Government must set out to bring the active involvement of the public sector into the green economy, using ownership at a national and local level, alongside stricter conditions, to guarantee the creation of new jobs, on good terms, and community wealth from renewable energy, and notes the calls for the Scottish Government to develop a robust green industrial strategy, in coordination with businesses, public sector bodies and trade unions, alongside a detailed plan for skills development, geared towards the stated aim of achieving a just transition on the path to net zero.
