Green skills are the knowledge, abilities, values, and attitudes needed to live in, develop, and support a sustainable and resource-efficient society. The need to transition towards more environmentally sustainable modes of production and consumption has become imperative, for developed and developing countries.

Green skills are important for a variety of reasons:

• They are essential for the transition to a green economy, which is an economy that is low-carbon, resource-efficient, and socially inclusive.
• They can help businesses to reduce their environmental impact, save money, and improve their competitiveness.
• They can help individuals to find new job opportunities in the green sector.
• They can help to create a more sustainable future for all.
