可再生能源与就业年度回顾2015Renewable Energy and Jobs Annual Review 2015

2014年，不包括大型水电在内，可再生能源就业岗位估计达到770万个。 与去年报告的估计相比，该行业的就业岗位增加了18%，亚洲地区继续向亚洲转移，尤其是制造业。 可再生能源就业人数最多的10个国家是中国、巴西、美国、印度、德国、印度尼西亚、日本、法国、孟加拉国和哥伦比亚。2014年，太阳能光伏产业创造了250万个就业岗位，其中三分之二在中国。日本的太阳能光伏工作岗位也有所增加，而欧盟的岗位在减少。 生物燃料(180万)、生物质(82.2万)和沼气(38.1万)也是主要的雇主，工作主要集中在原料供应上。在巴西和美国继续占据主导地位的同时，东南亚的生物燃料就业机会出现增长，这反映了支持生物燃料生产的措施。 风能行业的就业人数超过了100万，其中中国占了一半。美国、巴西和欧盟也取得了进展。 太阳能水加热和冷却雇佣了76.4万人，超过中国的四分之三。其他重要的市场还有印度、巴西和欧盟。 小水电雇佣了约20.9万人，其中一半以上在中国，其次是欧盟、巴西和印度。 据估计，大型水电将提供另外150万个直接就业岗位，主要在中国，主要在建筑和安装领域。 一系列工业和贸易政策继续影响就业，稳定和可预见的政策有利于创造就业。

Renewable energy jobs reached an estimated 7.7 million in 2014, excluding large hydropower.  

Jobs in the sector increased 18% from the estimate reported last year and the regional shifts towards Asia continued, especially in manufacturing. 

The 10 countries with the largest renewable energy employment were China, Brazil, the United States, India, Germany, Indonesia, Japan, France, Bangladesh and Colombia. }} In 2014, the solar PV sector accounted for 2.5 million jobs, of which   two-thirds were in China. Solar PV jobs also grew in Japan, while decreasing in the European Union. 

Biofuels (1.8 million), biomass (822,000) and biogas (381,000) are also major employers, with jobs concentrated in the feedstock supply. While Brazil and the United States continued to dominate, Southeast Asia saw growth in biofuel jobs, reflecting measures to support production.  

Wind employment crossed the 1 million mark, with China accounting for half of these jobs. The United States, Brazil and the European Union also saw gains.

Solar water heating and cooling employed 764,000 people, more than threequarters of them in China. Other significant markets are India, Brazil and the European Union.  

Small hydropower employed about 209,000 people, more than half in China, followed by the European Union, Brazil and India.  

Large hydropower was estimated to support another 1.5 million direct jobs, mostly in China and largely in construction and installation. 

An array of industrial and trade policies continues to shape employment, with stable and predictable policies favouring job creation.
