About the event

The impact of climate change on society and labour markets globally will be profound. To ensure an effective transition to a green economy, climate change mitigation policies are being implemented worldwide, setting ambitious goals that will require unique measures to be introduced by governments, national, regional and local authorities, social partners, civil society and industry. In particular, moving towards a greener economy will create new opportunities, clean and sustainable technologies and investments which will require new skills and new jobs of the future to transform climate and environmental challenges into real growth.

This event will explore the key insights from our White Paper, illustrating how investing in the right skills is an essential condition to achieving the urgently needed Green Transition, and outlining the actions that can and should be taken to mitigate negative impacts on labour markets.

Join us on Wednesday, April 14, 15:00-16:15 CET, for an online high-level discussion on the crucial role that skills investment needs to play in transitioning toward a Green Economy. Hear from key voices in the European Commission and Parliament, as well as the European Automobile Manufacturers'​ Association (ACEA), as we explore Skills for the Green Economy in discussion with EU policy makers, industry, academia and social partners.
