Using the concept of smart and green cities, this recent Cedefop policy paper analyses how VET can help cities become smarter and greener, thus facilitating the European Green Deal, the EU’s growth strategy and the policy response to the challenges of climate change and environmental degradation.
The European Green Deal lays the foundation for the EU to become a resource-efficient and competitive economy with net-zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050, while ensuring a just transition for all.
The CedefopSkills Forecast scenario, which looked at the implications of the European Green Deal for 2030 in terms of vocational education and training and skills, shows that the creation of skills – both initial and during working life – will be crucial to fill the new jobs created and to transform workers into greener sectors and occupations.
