Session Details

Green and digital transitions are interconnected and mutually reinforcing. While digital technologies facilitate the monitoring and management of environmental resources and processes, sustainability principles can guide the development and deployment of digital solutions in a responsible manner. Potential job losses due to digitalisation may be partially compensated by the green transition. Both transitions also create new jobs and require new skills for the successful and just transition for all. This session will address the following questions:

• What are essential effects from the green and digital transitions on jobs and skills?
• What skills (digital and beyond) are required to minimize and mitigate the impact of climate change, including from the digital transition itself?
• What are policy measures and good practice examples of skills development for just green and digital transitions?
