ALCA submission to the Employment White Paper

ALCA’s submission highlights three key themes:
• We must prevent environmental collapse if we wish to safeguard our productivity and avoid social and economic regression.
• Investment in the green economy – including nature-based solutions to climate change – is an opportunity to grow our sustainable economic output and productivity.
• Ensure that the operating environment facing nature sector employers is, at the very least, agnostic rather than discriminatory.
