The creation of more environmental jobs is part of a strategy unveiled today (February 2nd) by the government, which said such roles will help the country make its way to a greener future.Speaking as final estimates of greenhouse gas emissions were published today, minister for energy and climate change Joan Ruddock said more investment in low-carbon technologies and an increased number of green jobs would be crucial to help the nation set a global example.The figures showed that a continued decline was achieved in 2008, when the UK reduced its emissions by two per cent. Levels now sit 19.4 per cent below those registered in 1990."We are determined to strengthen and sustain the momentum behind the low-carbon transition in the UK ... creating green jobs and providing a healthier future for everyone," Ms Ruddock stated.Her comments follow yesterday's launch of the Beyond Carbon report, which saw environment secretary Hilary Benn call on businesses across the country to recognise the benefits of sustainability and efficiency in long-term planning.People Unlimited are specialists in recruitment for Environmental Careers
