About this Event

In this event, we will explore the urgent need to transform the labor market to foster a just and sustainable future, focusing on how to integrate human intelligence with emerging technologies to develop a workforce capable of adapting to the challenges and opportunities brought by rapid technological advancements, environmental sustainability, and social equity.

Navigating the economic challenges linked to a fair transition and tackling the climate crisis at the necessary speed and scale will require the involvement of individuals across all sectors of society. Existing jobs will need to transition towards greener practices, and new green jobs will increasingly be created.

The current climate workforce faces numerous challenges. As new jobs emerge, diverse capabilities are needed to address the often complex, multi-faceted issues related to climate change, necessitating the involvement of new types of professionals. How can we bridge the skills gap? As we shift towards a greener economy, the questions of diversity and inclusivity also come into play. Does everyone have their voice? Are we representing all interests? Beyond bringing diverse talent onboard, organizations need to create a culture of inclusivity and accountability.

Among other solutions, we will delve into the potential for social innovations using Generative AI and make a case for empowering operational people with new generation consulting subscription models. We will highlight the importance of green skills in the evolution of businesses and the workforce, focusing on creating new jobs, transforming existing roles through upskilling, and reskilling workers to meet the demands of a sustainable economy.
