If you're looking for a job, low-carbon technologies may be exactly what you're looking for.
According to a study published in the journal Nature Climate Change, low-carbon technologies (LCTs) such as solar cells, electric vehicles, and heat pumps are creating jobs in countries around the world, boosting their economies and reducing greenhouse gas emissions.
But it's not just in the US.
According to a study published in the same journal, low-carbon technologies are creating jobs in 16 countries around the world, including the US.
In fact, the share of all online job postings mentioning LCTs more than doubled between 2019 and 2022, increasing from under 1% at the end of 2021 to 1.7% by the end of 2022, according to the study.
The study found that jobs related to LCTs increased in three quarters of the countries studied, with Europe showing the strongest increase.
However, it's not all good news.
According to a study published in the same journal, the price of natural gas in Europe doubled between January and August 2022, with the impact spreading to all fossil fuel and electricity prices in energy importing countries worldwide.
The price of electricity in half of the European countries was more than 12 times higher than its January 2018 levels by August
