"Bridging the Great Green Divide" Is the green transition starved of skills?
The green transition is among the most formidable challenges the world faces. It calls for new sustainable solutions and significant reductions in emissions. The shift to a sustainable and net-zero economy will result in a significant transformation of local labour markets, as workers move into different occupations and sectors. As the geography of these transitions will differ, a place-based lens will be vital, with local economic development and business support programmes complementing national green transition policies.
