International Workshop "Renewable Energy: Employment Effects"
- Models, Discussions and Results -
With the increasing proportion of renewable energy in the overall energy mix, employment effects become more and more relevant. The scientific community has responded by publishing a substantial body of literature in the last several years. A variety of approaches and models has been used and has led to many different and sometimes contradicting results.
An international workshop was organized by the German Federal Ministry for the Environment, Nature Conservation and Nuclear Safety (BMU) in order to get a comprehensive overview over the existing results by means of presenting and discussing the most recent studies from various countries and regions. Most participants were researchers working on employment effects studies. The workshop took place in Berlin on April 23rd & 24th, 2007.
This paper gives a brief summary of the findings from the workshop. It is aimed towards politicians and other stakeholders and should provide detailed insight into different approaches to analyzing employment effects and the comparability of existing results. The discussion which took place in the workshop is resumed in order to show the advantages and disadvantages of the respective methods used.
