With new Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs)submitted and implementation timelines accelerating, the spotlight is now on execution: how to fund thetransition, how to scale solutions, and critically, whether we have the skilled workforce to deliver.The 2025 LinkedIn Green Skills Report arrives at this pivotal moment, offering data-driven insights into “As green skills spread throughout the economy, they arehelping deliver what businesses and governments care mostabout – adaptability, resilience, efficiency, competitivenessand innovation. The path from climate ambition to actionis paved with economic opportunity for workers, businessesand governments, but the gulf between demand and supplyof skilled workers continues to put this at risk. We will onlyclose the gap if decisive action is taken now to make skills andworkforce training a core part of climate and energy policy.” the readiness of labor markets worldwide to meet the demands of the climate and energy transition, aswell as realize the economic opportunity it presents.Hiring outpaces skilling in the green economy, signaling both the momentum of the transition and a warning that we must accelerate green skills development to bring the whole-of-economy shift tofruition.From 2021-2025, green hiring grew twice as fast as the share of workers who have green skills.Even more,green skills are now core business skills. Workers with green skills in non-green roles now make up the majority of green hires for the first time.

The rise of AI and the broader push toward electrification are putting energyproduction and climate action into sharper relief, buoying demand for green skills across industries liketechnology and utilities.This report presents thelatest trends of green skills in today’s workforce, shaped by political change,the rise of AI, increasing energy demand and the growing physical impacts of climate change.We show how the nature and distribution of green skills within the workforce is evolving across industriesand nations, and - drawing on LinkedIn’s AI skills data - how they intersect with both “sustainable AI”and “AI for sustainability”. We also examine critical industries such as energy and manufacturing, anda growing momentum of green skills moving through value chains.

Many companies remain committed to sustainability: analysis of SBTi submissions shows that thenumber of corporations setting ambitious goals continues to grow. Recent research published inHarvard Business Review shows the same trend: 32% of companies are accelerating their climatecommitments, while only 13% of companies examined were retreating. Likewise, demand for greenskills continues to grow and diffuse across industries and functions.The shift from goal-setting to implementation means employers and governments are now using green skills are those that are most commonly added by LinkedIn members in a given year.Green jobsare those that have sustainability at their core and cannot be performed without extensive knowledge of green skills.Green talentis a LinkedIn member who has explicitly added at least one green skill to their skills commonly thought to achieve sustainability outcomes more directly to promote innovation,risk mitigation, supply chain and operational resilience, and efficiency-driven cost reductions. Theyrely on workers’ green skills to deliver these outcomes. Green skills are also increasingly seen askey levers for driving growth and achieving a transition that maximizes economic opportunity -illustrated by the inclusion of a thematic focus on jobs at the COP30 meeting in Belém, Brazil.To advance the shift toward an economy in which an ever growing number of jobs contribute toboth climate action and economic competitiveness, governments and businesses need a clearer profile and/or are working in a green job. The green talent concentration is the proportionof LinkedIn members in an
