BOOK DESCRIPTION:

"Readers of this book will gain practical insights into addressing green transition challenges related to climate, decarbonisation, biodiversity, and social equity through strategic skills development.

The green transition requires more than technical specialists—it demands that every employee, in every role, contributes to organisational transformation. This means developing a broader skill set across the entire workforce and leveraging transferable skills alongside technical competence. Written by organisational leaders for organisational leaders, this book offers evidence-based insights and practical recommendations for developing the skills needed to deliver a 'green and just' transition. Contributors from global employers, professional associations, and industry thought leaders share firsthand expertise across diverse sectors in both the global North and South.

The book is essential reading for learning and development professionals and sustainability leaders and provides clear calls to action for workforce development. It will also prove valuable for educators, career practitioners, and policymakers seeking to understand which skills employers value and how to enable green workforce transformation".
