To address climate change and promote sustainable development, societies need to transition to lowcarbon energy sources, prevent ecological collapse, and enable human development so people can thrive in a green economy. This aligns with the EU Green Deal’s goals of climate neutrality and reduced inequality. It presents opportunities for governments and organisations to implement changes that make labour markets and education more inclusive, prosperous and beneficial for human well-being. The European Training Foundation (ETF) has assessed policies and advances in skills deployment for the green transition in EU neighbouring countries1. Key findings can help governments address capacity-building needs while enabling long-term social change for a just transition.
