據阿拉伯貿易10月3日消息稱，根據國際可再生能源機構Irena發布的最新數據，可再生能源通過在全球范圍內創造大量就業機會，繼續為社會經濟帶來好處。

WAM的一份報告稱，《可再生能源與就業–年度回顧》第七版顯示，去年全球可再生能源行業就業崗位達到1150萬個，其中太陽能光伏行業就業崗位最多，約380萬個，占總就業崗位的三分之一。

Irena總干事Francesco La Camera說:“無論是在發達國家還是發展中國家的能源市場，采用可再生能源都能創造就業機會，提高當地收入。”

“盡管今天我們看到少數幾個國家處于領先地位，但每個國家都可以利用其可再生能源潛力，采取措施利用當地能力促進工業發展，并培訓本國工人。”

這份新報告顯示，去年，63%的可再生能源就業崗位在亞洲，證實了該地區作為市場領導者的地位。生物燃料工作崗位緊隨太陽能光伏之后，達到250萬個。其中許多工作都在農業供應鏈中，特別是在巴西、哥倫比亞、馬來西亞、菲律賓和泰國等勞動力密集型國家。可再生能源領域的其他大雇主是水電和風電行業，分別有近200萬和120萬個工作崗位。

Renewable energy jobs hit 11.5 million worldwide: Irena

Renewable energy continues to bring socio-economic benefits by creating numerous jobs worldwide, according to the latest figures released by the International Renewable Energy Agency, Irena.

The seventh edition of Renewable Energy and Jobs – Annual Review shows that jobs in the sector reached 11.5 million globally last year, led by solar PV with some 3.8 million jobs, or a third of the total, a WAM report said.

"Adopting renewables creates jobs and boosts local income in both developed and developing energy markets," said Irena’s Director-General Francesco La Camera.

"While today we see a handful of countries in the lead, each country can harness its renewable potential, take steps to leverage local capabilities for industrial development, and train its workers."

Last year, 63% of all renewables jobs were recorded in Asia, confirming the region’s status as a market leader, the new report reveals. Biofuels jobs followed closely behind solar PV, reaching 2.5 million. Many of these jobs are in the agricultural supply chain, particularly in countries like Brazil, Colombia, Malaysia, the Philippines and Thailand, with labour-intensive operations. Other large employers in the renewables sector are the hydropower and wind industries, with close to 2 million and 1.2 million jobs, respectively.
