Jobs in Transition: Tackling the Shift to a Green Economy

This panel discussion will delve into the challenges and opportunities of measuring green jobs—jobs that contribute to environmental sustainability—as economies undergo a shift toward greener practices that complement Net Zero commitments. Accurately defining and tracking the creation of green jobs is essential for guiding effective policy, supporting workforce development, and advancing corporate environmental goals. This event will bring together experts from academia, the private sector, and policymaking institutions to share insights on green job metrics and to discuss collaborative, cross-sector approaches for measuring the economic and environmental impacts of these roles.
Held as a side event during the Skoll World Forum in Oxford , this panel will capitalize on the Forum’s dynamic platform and convening of stakeholders to foster an urgent dialogue on social innovation and sustainability. By connecting with the Skoll World Forum’s mission to tackle the world’s most pressing social and environmental challenges, this panel will provide attendees with actionable perspectives on defining and measuring green jobs within an evolving global workforce.
