2024年全球绿色技能报告

Executive summary The climate crisis is increasingly steering decision-making at the highest levels ofgovernment and business, yielding a cascading series of sustainability targets,commitments, and mandates.But data from LinkedIn’s more than one billionmembers reveals that the global workforce is not on track to realize theseambitions. Definitions Green skillsare those that directly combat theeffects of climate change. We need to double the size of the green talent pool by 2050—at a bare minimum—to keep pace withprojected demand.1Roughly half of jobs in the 2050 green economy will lack qualified candidates if wedon’t focus on strategic, expansive upskilling. Green jobsare those that have sustainability attheir core and cannot be performed withoutextensive knowledge of green skills. This report illuminates global trends at the intersection of climate action and the workforce. We show howgovernment policies are already shifting the supply and demand for green skills, and recommend high-impactpolicies for growing the green talent pool. We spotlight two groups critical to the goal of doubling green talent:Gen Z, which desperately wants to be part of the climate solution but is struggling to break in, and women, whomake up just a third of green talent worldwide. We also delve into four industries where green skillsdevelopment is particularly important to reaching climate targets: energy production & utilities, construction,manufacturing, and technology, information, & media. Green talentis aLinkedinmember who hasexplicitly added at least one green skill to theirprofile and/or are working in a green job. This is an inflection point for our planet. 2024 has been a record year for extreme weather, with deadlyflooding, destructive hurricanes, and the hottest summer in recorded history.By early 2025, signatories to theParis Agreement will submit their most ambitious climate plans yet, following an agreement at COP28 totriple renewables capacity and double energy efficiency by 2030. With this deadline and the 2035 target forfulfilling climate plans looming, government leaders are now preparing to make unprecedented investmentsin new infrastructure and innovations that will reduce global warming—and shape the economy for decadesto come. “This data is a wakeup call, and there’s no more time tohit the snooze button. Every single climate goal is at riskif we don’t have a workforce prepared to deliver thechange we urgently need. Our data reflectspolicymakers’ power to shape green talent demand andsupply. As governments finalize the next decade ofclimate commitments, they must include explicitinvestments to create the green-skilled workforce tocombat the climate crisis.” The world of work is changing rapidly, and we need people with the skills to combat the climate crisis, rightnow. Already, wehavefound, the hiring rate for green talent is 54.6% greater than the hiring rate overall.Byhelping workers develop green skills, we will position them to access opportunities during this unique windowand over the long term. Sue Duke,Vice President of Public Policy & Economic Graph,LinkedIn Green skills will pave the path toward climate goals and economic prosperity. If we don’t invest in producing aglobal workforce capable of addressing the climate crisis and participating in the green economy, we will failboth our planet and our people. Key findings Theutilities industry—driven by the rapid expansion in renewable energy—leads all industries in green talent demand, with nearly a quarter of jobpostings (23.1%) requiring green skills.Green skills are likely to becomeincreasingly important as the industry confronts the complexities of overhaulingthe power grid and transitioning to renewables. Global demand for green talent grew twice asquickly as supply between 2023 and 2024—withdemand increasing by 11.6% and supply by 5.6%. 11.6% By 2030—halfway to the deadline for fulfillingnationally determined contributions (NDCs)—one in five jobs will lack the green talent to fillit.By 2050, this gap will balloon to one in two jobs. Construction, a hard-to-abate sectorresponsible for37% of global emissions, ispoised for a substantial influx of climate-related investment and will be crucial toreach climate targets.Construction has thesecond-highest demand for greentalent—one in five job postings (20.6%) require green skills. 1 in 2 Manufacturing delivers the technologies and products that transform otherindustries, but is a large contributor of emissions. 13.2% of job postings requiregreen skills.Manufacturers will face additional pressure to reach net zero ascompanies across industries seek to decarbonize their supply chains.
