       The European Green Deal is Europe’s new growth strategy aiming to transform its economy and society and to put them on a more sustainable path. As stipulated in Action 6 of the European Skills Agenda, the Commission will support the acquisition of skills for the green transition.

A fair and successful green transition requires investments in skills of people to increase the number of professionals who build and master green technologies, including digital ones, develop green products, services and business models, create innovative nature-based solutions and help minimize the environmental footprint of activities. Europe will only become a climate neutral continent, a resource efficient society and a circular economy with an informed population and workforce that understands how to think and act green.

Schools also should provide the skills needed for a successful green transition, both through initial and continuing programmes, preparing people with the skills for the digital and green transitions and occupations in high demand. This includes expansion of the training offer fostering the acquisition of entrepreneurial, digital and green skills.

Green skills are the knowledge, abilities, values and attitudes needed to live in, develop and support a sustainable and resource-efficient society.
