Assessing and Anticipating Skills for the Green Transition

Unlocking Talent for a Sustainable Future

image of Assessing and Anticipating Skills for the Green Transition

Policies aimed at reducing the environmental impact of human activities have important consequences for labour markets, jobs, and skills. As employment is shifting towards more sustainable activities, workers are increasingly expected to have skills that support the transition to a greener economy. Assessing and anticipating emerging skill needs is crucial to avoid bottlenecks and sustain the green transition. This report sheds light on existing methods to measure changes in skill demand and supply related to the green transition through an in-depth review of practices in five OECD countries (Australia, Austria, France, Norway and Sweden). It also identifies best practice on how to feed information on changing skill needs into policies, notably in the areas of employment, career guidance, education and adult learning.

Turning results into policy action for the green transition

Some approaches to assessing and anticipating skills related to the greening of the economy are more successful than others in leading to policy action. By means of best practice examples, this chapter identifies common challenges and success factors for evidence‑based policy practices on skills for the green transition. While both skills analyses and policy initiatives in this area are still relatively novel, there are some common characteristics of successful approaches that are illustrated.
