The Empleaverde Program of Spain’s Ministry for the Ecological Transition and Demographic Challenge (MITECO) is run by the Biodiversity Foundation to “promote and improve employment, entrepreneurship and the environment”. The programme is co-financed by the European Social Fund under the Employment, Training and Education Operational Programme 2014-2020. It aims to leverage environmental opportunities to create good jobs and competitive companies by better aligning employment and environmental policy. The Biodiversity Foundation issues calls for grants as well as undertakes its own projects.

Over the 2014-2020 period, the Empleaverde Program co-financed 288 projects in a range of environmental sectors, including the circular economy, renovation and sustainable buildings, eco-innovation, entrepreneurship, and ecological products, among others. The programme improved the employability of 2 783 people, while an additional 2 000 received support to create or improve a company. The Empleaverde Program might continue its work over the 2021-2027 period (currently under negotiation), focusing its activities on training for the green transition, targeting unemployed workers and entrepreneurs. Most recently, the Biodiversity Foundation issued two calls for grants in April 2022, one of which will be for projects that provide training, advice and support for job placement, while the other seeks to promote the hiring of unemployed people. Under the latest programme, MITECO will award EUR 7.5 million to 66 projects that support jobs in environmental sectors and promote training programmes in areas such as agricultural sustainability, forest management, the just and ecological transition or sustainable fashion. The projects are expected to train over 7 000 people.

Big Oil Eyes Record Profits but Keeps Spending in Check

Oil supermajors have been raking it in since the war in the Middle East began. They are now set to report another robust quarter, even as some jurisdictions where they operate plan to slap windfall taxes on them. The question now is what Big Oil will do with these profits. The answer: it probably won’t be a spending spree. They sure have the money for a spree. If the second quarter is any indication—and it is—oil and gas majors are having a really strong year. Out of all S&P 500 sectors, Energy booked annual growth of 128.2%…

The Bipartisan American Affordability and Jobs Act of 2026 was introduced in the Senate at the end of September and is expected to be debated after the mid-term elections when Congress returns from the recess on November 9. The bill would reinforce statutory deadlines…

S&P Global Warns Hormuz Energy Shock Could Become a Global Food Crisis

As BP Leaves the North Sea, These Independents Are Buying In

Back in July, UK oil and gas major BP Plc. (NYSE:BP) announced that it was putting its entire UK North Sea oil and gas business up for sale as part of a broader $20-billion portfolio overhaul, marking the end of a 60-year era as a leading player in Europe's largest oil basin.
