Bankwatch in the media | February 9, 2012
Brussels/Belgium-A report has just been released highlighting the potential for green job creation in the next EU budget, 2014-20. This analysis builds on previous work by the UNEP and shows that funding of sustainable infrastructures and environmental programs can create employment at a lower cost than the current Common Agricultural and Cohesion policies. The report was commissioned by an alliance of leading environmental NGOs, and released in the European Parliament to an audience of MEPs.
