Abstract

This last chapter sees me critically discuss the UK conservative political legacy regarding both green jobs and the Green Jobs Taskforce (GJT), and (un)intended consequences arising for stakeholders involved. I then examine new conservative British approaches, UK press and media views, and Sunak’s own green future, including his actions in his late summer 2023 reshuffle. I add commentary on UK Labour’s green plan and ask where are we now with UK green jobs, and where are we going? I partly answer this question with a critical discussion of Rishi Sunak’s key net zero speech of 20 September 2023. I close this study and book with some study limitations, policy and practitioner implications and future research ideas.
