Our consumption of fossil fuels is harming people and planet. In Spain and across the world we see the same pattern – the poorest people, who use the least energy, are hardest hit by harmful aspects of climate change and rising energy prices.Jorge Cattaneo - Ayuda en Acción
Moving towards a greener economy is creating opportunities for new technologies, investment and jobs. At the same time, environmental change and in particular climate change has detrimental effects on certain economic sectors and can cause job losses. Identifying and providing the right skills for new and existing jobs can smooth transitions to greener economies and ensure that new opportunities benefit a broader share of society.Jorge Cattaneo - Ayuda en Acción
