It's interesting that you say that. I was discussing with a friend, who told me he believed jobs would come mostly from equipment manufacturing, as they are more stable than installation and O&M.

I did not concur, as I believe the job creation would mostly come from O&M and design and maintenance of future integrated infrastructure and IoT systems.

I am curious to see where this discussion will lead....

Copying in this comment from a LinkedIn contact:

Hi Sebastian, there is a recent report 'Jobs in a Net-Zero Emissions Future' from the International Labour Organization (ILO) and the Inter-American Development Bank (IDB) that estimates job losses/gains - by sector - in the transition to a net-zero carbon economy by 2030 in Latin America and the Caribbean.
