ETF, UNIDO and Schneider Electric share their knowledge on the skills need for energy transition (in and out of EU), learn from and engage with other researchers, policy makers and practitioners, and gather views and interests for potential collaboration in view of upcoming actions.
The need to expand renewable energy production, distribution and consumption is nothing new. The most recent IPCC report (on adaptation to climate change) mentions that renewable energies are not only the most effective way to reduce our carbon emissions, they are also the cheapest and most feasible in the short term. The lack of skills can hinder such policy intentions. The European Commission has proposed a revision of the directive on renewable energies to increase its ambition and achieve 40% energy production from renewable sources by 2030.
The race to net zero is speeding up and renewable energies continue gaining interest. This has huge implications in many dimensions of our societies and particularly an impact on labour markets and skilling systems. ETF believes the best way to support the roll out of the European Green Deal in and out of the EU as well as support its partner countries in accelerating their energy transition is to contribute to all the research efforts dedicated to anticipating the associated labour market adaptations and skilling requirements.
