Green New Deal are highlighting the jobs lost during the Covid-19 pandemic, and calling for the government to replace lost jobs by creating jobs in green transport, home retrofit, and renewable energy – tackling climate change, reducing unemployment, and supporting local communities all at the same time.

Their new tool shows you the potential for green jobs in your local constituency. You’re then able to create a graphic to share with your community and your local MP, to call on them to act on this potential.
