Green Skills is fast becoming a central challenge and opportunity for many organisations.  Earlier this year LinkedIn published their Global Green Skills Report for 2022.  The report provides new international data on green skills and jobs, analysing differences in the green transition for countries and sectors.  It examines gaps across income, gender and education levels; providing recommendations for governments, organisations and individuals.
 
While job postings requiring green skills grew at 8% annually over the past five years, the share of green talent has grown at roughly 6% annually in the same period.

In response to the global need for action, the UK Government has set out the need for the UK to lead in transforming our economy so that it is ‘Net Zero’ in totality by 2050. All organisations will be expected to commit and contribute to mitigating and repairing environmental damage. Doing so, while remaining economically viable, will require different ways of operating from top to bottom, placing new demands on workers at all levels.

The Institute of Environmental Management and Assessment (IEMA) and Deloitte have published a green skills report, painting a picture of an accelerating drive to build this greener workforce across the UK economy.   Alan Darby (Corporate Partnerships Manager, IEMA) will provide an overview of this report, providing insights intended to help organisations design their strategic green workforce transformation.  There will also be any opportunity to ask Alan questions and to join in a group discussion; allowing you to share learning, progress, challenges and questions with other members across the network who are on the same journey.  The workshop will be of benefit to all network members, whatever your size and scope of operations/activity.
