The Green Skills Action Plan
The Green Skills Action Plan outlines the strategy to equip individuals with the knowledge
and skills needed to support a sustainable, low carbon economy.
What Are Green Skills?
Employment in an activity that directly contributes to - or indirectly supports - the achievement of the UK’s Net Zero emissions by 2050 target and other environmental goals.
Why do Green Skills matter?
Government and industry recognise the need to upskill the existing workforce while integrating green skills into the education system at all levels to deliver the ‘green workforce’ of the future. The Climate Change Act and the global commitment to Net Zero emissions by 2050 demand a skilled workforce in sustainability practices.
The Green Skills Action Plan provides a comprehensive framework to guide Government, employers, educationalists and individuals on what is needed to deliver the skills and the jobs for the future.
