Amin noted today that this growth  is significant given that it stands in contrast to trends across the  broader energy sector; the total number of renewable energy jobs  worldwide rose in 2015 while jobs in the broader energy sector fell. In  the US for example, renewable energy jobs increased 6% while employment  in oil and gas decreased 18%. Likewise in China, renewable energy  employed 3.5 million people, while oil and gas employed 2.6 million.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;This increase is being driven by declining renewable energy technology  costs and enabling policy frameworks. We expect this trend to continue  as the business case for renewables strengthens and as countries move to  achieve their climate targets agreed in Paris.&rdquo; &ndash; IRENA  Director-General Adnan Z. Amin<\/p>\n<p>Countries with the most renewable energy jobs in 2015 included China,  Brazil, the US, India, Japan and Germany. The solar photovoltaic (PV)  sector remains the largest renewable energy employer worldwide with 2.8  million jobs (up from 2.5 at last count) with jobs in manufacturing,  installation and operations &amp; maintenance. Liquid biofuels was the  second largest global employer with 1.7 million jobs, followed by wind  power, which grew 5 per cent to reach 1.1 million global jobs.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Select report findings:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Solar PV<\/strong> is the largest renewable energy employer with 2.8 million jobs worldwide, an 11% increase from last count.<\/li>\n<li>Strong <strong>wind <\/strong>installation rates in China, the US and  Germany drove a 5% increase in global employment to reach 1.1 million  jobs. Wind employment in the US alone rose by 21%.<\/li>\n<li>Jobs in <strong>liquid biofuels, solar heating and cooling<\/strong>, and <strong>large and small hydropower<\/strong>  decreased due to various factors including increased mechanisation,  slowing housing markets, the removal of subsidies and the drop in new  installations.<\/li>\n<li>With more than a third of the global renewable energy capacity additions in 2015, <strong>China<\/strong> led employment with 3.5 million jobs.<\/li>\n<li>In the <strong>EU<\/strong>, the UK, Germany and Denmark were the  global leaders in offshore wind employment. Overall, job figures in the  EU declined for the fourth year due to weak economic growth. <strong>Germany<\/strong> remains the highest EU renewables employer&ndash; employing nearly as many as France, the UK, and Italy combined.<\/li>\n<li>In the <strong>US<\/strong>, renewable energy employment increased 6% driven by growth in wind and solar. Solar employment grew 22% <em>&ndash; <\/em>12 times faster than job creation in the US economy &shy;<em>&ndash; <\/em>surpassing jobs in oil and gas. Employment in wind industry grew 21%.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Japan <\/strong>experienced impressive gains in solar PV in recent years, resulting in a 28% increase in employment in 2014.<\/li>\n<li>In <strong>India<\/strong>, solar and wind markets have seen  substantial activity, as the ambitious renewable energy targets are  translated into concrete policy frameworks.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Africa<\/strong> has seen many developments leading to job  creation, including solar and wind development in Egypt, Morocco, Kenya  and South Africa.<\/li>\n<li>IRENA&rsquo;s early research indicates that the renewable energy sector employed larger shares of <strong>women<\/strong> than the broader energy sector.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><em><a href=\"http:\/\/www.irena.org\/menu\/index.aspx?mnu=Subcat&amp;PriMenuID=36&amp;CatID=141&amp;SubcatID=2729\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Download Renewable Energy and Jobs &ndash;
