In response to the EU’s Copernicus Climate Change Service (C3S) data confirming that 2023 was the hottest year on record, IEMA's CEO Sarah Mukherjee MBE said:
"Today's news that last year was the hottest on record is yet another reminder of how little time we have left to decarbonise our economy and avert the worst impacts of climate change.
"This transition will not be possible without a workforce capable of delivering it, which is why leaders must invest in the green skills and training needed to put us on a sustainable footing and adapt to record-breaking temperatures.
"It is simply magical thinking to suggest that we can truly tackle the climate crisis without supporting new green jobs and industries today."
