25、and much further than the typical green jobs we think of today eventually becoming a significant part of every industry globally.Today,the green world of work is changing as many new direct and adjacent jobs needed for the transition are created.It is helpful to examine the green jobs landscape thro

26、ugh the lens of changing skills.There are established green jobs,such as wind turbine technicians or solar panel installers.They contribute to environmental sustainability and require green skills,but those skills are not rapidly changing.Greening jobs are existing roles where there are more signifi

32、ifying applicable existing skills(36%).12 The global green skills gap is substantial.Today,only 1 in 8 workers has more than one green skill.13 This creates both a challenge for employers and substantial missed opportunity for workers,as the median hiring rate for workers with at least one green ski

33、ll is 29%higher than the workforce average.In addition,the number of job postings requiring at least one green skill grew 15%YOY in early 2023.14 Green skills gaps are particularly acute within highly technical industries,such as renewable energy and automotive.The European Institute of Technology(E

58、Workers in the Information Technology and Financials&Real Estate industries are the most likely to express readiness for the green transition within their organization.At the same time,workers in the Energy&Utilities and Transport,Logistics&Automotive sectors are less optimistic.These varying levels

59、 of excitement are particularly interesting when you consider that,around the world,substantial investments are currently being made in green energy and vehicle electrification.Given the lower sentiment is found in industries with a higher number of blue-collar workers,this is likely another illustr

63、eiled some interesting gaps.Workers in The Netherlands,Germany,United Kingdom and Spain are more optimistic;however,they were more skeptical in Switzerland(50%),the United States(47%)and France(47%).Employee and employer perception gaps are currently misaligned,based on the percentage of employers i

64、n the same countries saying they are currently or actively planning to recruit green jobs and skills.In the U.S.,the gap is particularly pronounced.Despite the accelerating pace of global green business transformation,less than half of employees believe their employer is truly committed to the green

65、 transition.There is also a gap when workers consider their impact on the green transition.When asked whether they would prefer to work in a green industry with less future impact or a currently“dirty”industry with more potential to make an impact,most(55%)would prefer to be in an industry with a gr

66、een reputation instead of one perceived as harmful(14%).This choice lacks rationale,as the latter would mean helping drive a larger net reduction of carbon emissions and a greater positive impact on the environment.Nevertheless,employers who may be perceived as“dirty”today should not lose hope.This

100、Drivers of the Green TransitionThe green transition is accelerating due to growing interest from key stakeholders including governments,consumers and investors.As the impact of global climate change continues to grow,there will be increasing demands by stakeholders to take action.Understanding the k

101、ey drivers and going beyond compliance will be the key to future business differentiation.Growing Green Government ActionThe United Nations Climate Change Conference of the Parties(COP)regularly convenes with representatives from 198 countries to mitigate global climate change and preserve biodivers

102、ity.COP is an annual meeting intended to drive multilateral action to achieve the goals of the 2015 Paris Agreement,including limiting climate change to 1.5C above preindustrial levels and achieving global carbon neutrality by 2050.33In order to deliver on their COP-related promises,government actio

103、ns across trading blocs,regions and countries are pressing organizations to adopt their own net zero commitments.These include the European Union(EU)225 billion Green Deal Industrial Plan and the United States Inflation Reduction Act,providing$369 billion for clean energy.34 In addition,multilateral

104、 efforts in South Asia and the priorities of the Chinese government are both focusing on climate mitigation(reducing CO2)and adaptation reducing the effect of climate change.To answer the growing global call to action,nearly 6 in 10(58%)Fortune 500 CEOs have now set their own ambitious net zero emis

106、s Transformation|20The challenge for policymakers has been translating global ambition to reduce climate change into concrete regulations and actions at home without harming key stakeholders.As a result,they are increasingly trying to balance the simultaneous transition away from carbon-intensive ec

107、onomic activity to a greener economic future.1.Transition out of carbon-intensive sectors and the importance of responsibly exiting these activities so as not to harm governments,workers,or communities dependent on these assets(e.g.,mining for coal).2.Transition in to low-carbon economies,which can

108、risk exploitation of workers involved,e.g.,the mining rare earth minerals,which are crucial to power and enable renewable energy technology.The“transition in”can create such high demand for renewable energy that related land acquisition may negatively impact neighboring communities,causing the explo

109、itation of workers in the renewable energy manufacturing supply chain.Thus,the COP process is considering the human and society factors needed to implement a successful and sustainable transition to net zero.In this context,a separate Just Transitions Declaration and Principles on“Supporting the Con

110、ditions for a Just Transition Internationally”was also agreed upon at COP26 by some governments,outlining key principles they supported in rolling out just-transition activities that support the net zero target.36For those in labor policy and workforce planning,the practice of hiring experienced tal

111、ent from competitor companies or other countries can only be a stopgap measure.The struggle to overcome global talent scarcity in the context of net zero must be augmented by the commitment to create and nurture a highly trained,competent and flexible workforce;this ensures value is generated from t

120、Business Transformation|22The Key Pillars of Green Strategic Workforce Planning Strategic workforce planning,or the process of using data and analytics to ensure that a business has the right workforce to support its goals and strategy,is not new.Key best practices include assessing the current and

121、future needs of the business,identifying the gaps and risks in the existing workforce and developing solutions to address them.This is easier said than done when the green transition and disruptive tech are accelerating the pace of change for your business.For example,in a recent survey of senior gl
