The importance of creating a market ready labour force with the green skills to support economic reform, the establishment of new high growth industry sectors & regional economic renewal
A presentation emphasizing the need to focus on skill development in occupations that people have already trained in rather than relying on the creation of new green jobs.
Proposed Increase in South Africa's Solar Renewable Energy Will Lead to Posit...EES Africa (Pty) Ltd
South Africa is a country fraught with ongoing challenges in the form of severe power shortages and an inconsistent, unreliable power supply. The increased solar energy allocation, if implemented, would of course help alleviate this situation by diversifying energy resources and boosting energy security.
Green skills and innovation for inclusive growthMario Verissimo
The greening of the economy is a shared goal for advanced and less advanced
economies alike, particularly where sustained and inclusive employment is an
objective for policy-makers. However, the challenges of such greening, and the
implications for employment and skills, vary across regions and countries.

Planning & Design Guidelines GREEN INDUSTRIAL PARK for ALEAP, Nandigama, Andh...AurovilleConsulting
A research and pilot work on preparing environment- friendly Development Plans or Site Master Plans for upcoming industrial parks to showcase integration of clean/green/energy efficient and environment-friendly technologies at the planning stage itself is a much needed effort.
Circular Economy is here to stay. From an environmental aspect its the right thing to do, but more important there is an enormous economic value to capture. Reducing risks of price volatility, creating better customer relationships, capturing value over the lifespan of a product are a couple of advantages that Circular Economy can deliver.
The key technologies and capability shifts that are supporting a transformation from a linear to a circular business model are based on an extensive research by Accenture among 125 circular pioneers. The results were presented at the CircularEconomy conference in Rotterdam. For questions: Feel free to reach out!

A green skills lead labour market transformation is acknowledged as being critical to our economic prosperity & support of future jobs We must also be able to ensure that Australia’s economy is ready to compete in a global carbon future. This needs to include sustainable jobs in energy intensive, trade-exposed industries (EITE) and grab hold of opportunities to grow green jobs . Sharan Burrow – ACTU President (5 September 2008) Responding to climate change will require a fundamental shift in Australia’s approach to management and workforce skills . Heather Ridout, Chief Executive AIG (November 2008) … achieving the transition to a low carbon sustainable economy will require a massive mobilisation of skills and training – both to equip new workers and to enable appropriate changes in practices by the three million workers already employed CSIRO for the Dusseldorp Skills Forum (June 2008)
