The measures put in place by energy policymakers and regulators to reduce CO2 emissions encourage the switch from fossil fuels to the use of low-carbon fuels, particularly renewables. The research starts with a detailed content analysis of the climate change policies of Ghana within the electricity sector as well as a doctrinal analysis of the laws passed to implement climate change policies. The article then examines the energy transition measures implemented in Ghana over the years even though Ghana has just launched its National Energy Transition (NET) Framework. The article confirms that Ghana has implemented a variety of measures to promote energy transition although Ghana did not have a comprehensive energy transition policy. The research shows that fossil fuels dominate the electricity market but the patronage of renewables is vigorously promoted. In the wake of the transition from fossil fuel to low-carbon, the subsistence of the employment of workers in the energy sector comes under immense pressure with some employees becoming redundant. Employing empirical research methods, this article examines the employment transition during the energy transition, particularly in the electricity sector of Ghana. This article corroborates the fact that the introduction of renewables has created new jobs in the electricity sector but there is no clear link between the gradual energy transition from 2011 to 2021 on employment losses. In addition, the research shows that more women were employed in the electricity sector within the period installed renewable energy capacity increased although there is no direct link between the two. The article concludes that the new NET Framework will vigorously promote renewables in the energy sector but fossil fuels will provide the majority of the jobs in the Ghanaian energy sector for a while, therefore capacity building is needed to accelerate a sustainable employment transition during the energy transition.

气候变化和能源转型对加纳能源部门就业转型的影响

能源政策制定者和监管机构为减少二氧化碳排放而采取的措施鼓励从化石燃料转向使用低碳燃料，尤其是可再生能源。该研究首先对加纳电力部门的气候变化政策进行了详细的内容分析，并对为实施气候变化政策而通过的法律进行了理论分析。然后，本文审视了加纳多年来实施的能源转型措施，尽管加纳刚刚启动了其国家能源转型 (NET) 框架。文章证实，加纳虽然没有全面的能源转型政策，但已经实施了多种措施来促进能源转型。研究表明，化石燃料在电力市场中占主导地位，但可再生能源的使用却得到了大力推广。随着化石燃料向低碳能源的转型，能源行业工人的就业生存面临巨大压力，部分员工出现裁员。本文采用实证研究方法，考察了能源转型期间的就业转型，尤其是加纳电力部门的就业转型。本文证实了可再生能源的引入在电力部门创造了新的就业机会这一事实，但从 2011 年到 2021 年的能源逐步过渡与就业损失之间没有明确的联系。此外，研究表明，在可再生能源装机容量增加的时期内，更多的妇女受雇于电力部门，尽管这两者之间没有直接联系。文章总结说，新的 NET Framework 将在能源领域大力推广可再生能源，但化石燃料将在一段时间内提供加纳能源领域的大部分工作岗位，因此需要能力建设来加速能源转型期间的可持续就业转型.
