Episode description

On June 29 2020, Beyond Zero Emissions launched The Million Jobs Plan. The launch included a stellar line up including Christiana Figueres and Mike Cannon-Brookes. You can watch the webinar launch here.

Climactic has adapted the event to audio, by shortening and producing the webinar recording into a version you can enjoy over headphones. 

The Million Jobs Plan is the framework to restore our economy. We've mapped out how we can rebuild our nation through practical projects that can restore our economy, modernise our industry, reskill our workforce and deliver a bright and secure economic future

We've identified seven key sectors across our economy where strategic investment over the next five years would have the most impact and create the most jobs, including

• Energy
• Building
• Manufacturing
• Transport
• Recycling
• Land Use
• Training

Jobs will be distributed around Australia, including in cities and regions already under pressure from the closure of traditional heavy industry and manufacturing, historical droughts and fires, and high unemployment.

The next stage of this project will include shortlisting of several priority projects across Australia that we will present to the government over the coming months, along with the private investors and partnerships needed to realise these projects, create good, secure jobs and kick our economy back into gear.
