New technologies, economic forces, resource depletion, and corporate outsourcing strategies are all eliminating fossil fuel jobs,\u201d the Vancouver-based organization\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/mailchi.mp\/f5a91e9cc406\/media-release-fossil-fuel-employment-falls-below-1-canadian-total-new-pipeline-even-if-built-wont-reverse-long-term-decline?e=6f354eec2b\">said<\/a>\u00a0in a release. The 95-page report\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/centreforfuturework.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Transitions-for-Fossil-Fuel-Workers.pdf\">concludes<\/a>\u00a0<em>[pdf]\u00a0<\/em>that:<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 The job transition out of fossil fuels is taking place in spite of any efforts in national climate policy, not because of them.<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 The pace of the decline is consistent with a full phaseout of fossil fuels by 2050.<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 Most of today\u2019s fossil fuel workers will have reached normal retirement age by then.<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 Interviews with workers showed that most of them expect to see the industry decline, but are reasonably confident the transition can be managed without mass displacement.<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 Federal \u201cjust transition\u201d efforts to date have been \u201clong on aspiration and consultation, and short on implementation and effective guarantees.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 Transition planning in Canada \u201cis made even more nebulous by the fact that no general transition away from fossil fuel production and use is in fact occurring,\u201d except for the 2030 federal mandate to phase out coal.<\/p>\n<p>The research \u201cconfirms that an employment transition away from fossil fuel jobs is occurring, and occurring quickly,\u201d said report co-author and centre director Jim Stanford. \u201cRegardless of the twists and turns of climate policy debates, that decline will continue, driven by deeper economic and technological factors.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>But when it comes to just transition planning, \u201cmost policies emphasize consultation and dialogue, not binding agreements and entitlements,\u201d the report states. \u201cInstead of clear guarantees of employment and income for affected workers, workers are typically offered retraining subsidies and career counselling. In a labour market defined by chronic insecurity and fierce competition for decent work, this does not convince fossil fuel workers that their employment and incomes will be protected.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Stanford added that a new oil pipeline megaproject, like the one envisioned in last month\u2019s sweeping\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.theenergymix.com\/guilbeault-resigns-as-smith-declares-crushing-victory\/\">memorandum of understanding<\/a>\u00a0between Canada and Alberta, won\u2019t reverse the trend. \u201cBuilding a pipeline creates medium-term construction, he said\u2014but no more than equivalent amounts spent on other energy investments\u201d in renewable energy, transition, energy retrofits, or public transit.<\/p>\n<p>On a global scale, many of those job categories are soaring, the International Energy Agency reported Friday, with the energy sector outpacing the global economy in 2024 for the third year in a row and increasing its work force to 76 million.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cStrong investment in energy infrastructure drove a 2.2 per cent rise in energy jobs last year, nearly double the rate of employment growth for the wider global economy,\u201d the Paris-based agency <a href=\"https:\/\/www.iea.org\/news\/energy-employment-has-surged-but-growing-skills-shortages-threaten-future-momentum\">said<\/a>\u00a0in a release, with electricity surpassing fuel supply as the biggest industry employer for the first time.<\/p>\n<p>The IEA\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.iea.org\/reports\/world-energy-employment-2025\/executive-summary\">reports<\/a>\u00a0that:<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 Photovoltaic solar has been a \u201cprincipal driver of demand, accounting for half of the job additions in the electricity sector since 2019.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 Almost all the jobs in the power sector were in low-emitting power generation, grids, or storage, with only a small percentage in unabated fossil generation.<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 Nuclear power, grids, and storage have provided 25 per cent of the new power sector jobs.<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 Offshore wind saw layoffs in turbine manufacturing and other \u201cpersistent challenge\u201d, leading to a 6 per cent job decline last year.<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 Jobs in electric vehicle manufacturing grew by 800,000, with EVs and batteries now accounting for about 40 per cent of automotive employment in China.<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 Oil and gas has recovered most of the jobs it lost in the COVID-19 pandemic. But \u201cit now appears that many firms are entering a new period of retrenchment in the face of lower oil prices and revenues, with a number of major oil companies announcing job cuts in 2025.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 Coal jobs have increased in India, China, and Indonesia, growing 8 per cent between 2019 and 2024.<\/p>\n<p>Skilled worker shortages emerged as a key concern in the IEA\u2019s annual Energy Employment Survey, with more than half of respondents reporting critical hiring bottlenecks and an aging work force compounding the problem.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMost of the top energy occupations facing constraints within energy are considered applied technical roles, including electricians, pipefitters, electrical power line workers, and engineers, particularly in nuclear,\u201d the IEA wrote. \u201cMany of these broader categories are already in short supply across the wider economy.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\"><p>This article was published by The Energy Mix on Dec. 9, 2025.
