Realizing the job creation potential of decarbonisation and ensuring that the transition is just will not be possible without ensuring that current workers and potential labour market entrants have relevant skills. A good mix of foundational, technical and core skills for the green transition helps to mitigate the risks of job loss as well as prevents skills and labour shortages for the newly created jobs. Upskilling and reskilling measures along with career guidance and other support services are needed to help workers move from one occupation to another or adapt to new tasks. Promoting learning throughout working careers is therefore vital to improve the transferability of workers across occupations and sectors and buffer against the negative consequences of disruptions arising in the transition to the decarbonised economy.
