| Abstract: |
This report examines how OECD countries are equipping their labour markets for the green transition. Drawing on case studies from Austria, Canada, Flanders (Belgium), Ireland, the Netherlands and Spain, it reviews comprehensive national strategies that link employment and skills development with climate goals. The report also analyses targeted policy tools -- from vocational education reforms and training incentives to career guidance services and support for firms -- showing how governments are adapting existing programmes to emerging needs. Together, these insights provide policymakers with practical approaches to ensure their workforce is ready to seize the opportunities and manage the challenges of the green transition. |
