The case for a global green skills training action plan

Building on ICF GHK’s extensive experience in researching and evaluating international developments in green growth, green jobs and green skills, this chapter identifies key actions for policy makers and social partners to ensure that vocational education and training are better aligned to the needs of enterprises and entrepreneurs, in the context of transition. The employment, skills and training strategies developed by the European Union and the G20/ILO provide the framework for this analysis. The chapter applies the five critical elements of the G20 Training Strategy to the case of green structural change and outlines five key policy actions.
