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.

Using the results of skills assessment and anticipation for evidence‑based policy making

Even if there is available evidence on skill shortages linked to the greening of the economy, it is often unclear whether and how this information is used in policy making. This chapter reviews ways in which general insights from skills assessments and anticipation exercises have been applied directly or indirectly to steer policies in a range of areas such as adult training, formal education, career guidance, employment policies, industrial policies, and migration policies.
