据阿拉伯贸易10月3日消息称，根据国际可再生能源机构Irena发布的最新数据，可再生能源通过在全球范围内创造大量就业机会，继续为社会经济带来好处。
WAM的一份报告称，《可再生能源与就业–年度回顾》第七版显示，去年全球可再生能源行业就业岗位达到1150万个，其中太阳能光伏行业就业岗位最多，约380万个，占总就业岗位的三分之一。
Irena总干事Francesco La Camera说:“无论是在发达国家还是发展中国家的能源市场，采用可再生能源都能创造就业机会，提高当地收入。”
“尽管今天我们看到少数几个国家处于领先地位，但每个国家都可以利用其可再生能源潜力，采取措施利用当地能力促进工业发展，并培训本国工人。”
这份新报告显示，去年，63%的可再生能源就业岗位在亚洲，证实了该地区作为市场领导者的地位。生物燃料工作岗位紧随太阳能光伏之后，达到250万个。其中许多工作都在农业供应链中，特别是在巴西、哥伦比亚、马来西亚、菲律宾和泰国等劳动力密集型国家。可再生能源领域的其他大雇主是水电和风电行业，分别有近200万和120万个工作岗位。

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.
