How Can Green Skills Translate into More and Better Jobs? 04 December 2025 Author / Speaker Friedrich Huebler Heidi Lempinen Akiko Sakamoto Trisha Suresh Alexander Tsironis View File As governments and industries push for a greener economy, questions remain about whether education systems are equipping learners with the skills that truly matter. This debate will explore whether green skills translate into more and better jobs, examining whether education should act now to integrate these skills or wait for clearer market signals. Through a structured format with audience participation, participants will clarify what constitutes a green skill, assess the current curriculum's readiness, and weigh the urgency of preparing the workforce for a sustainable future.
