We hope this report highlights the critical role of human capital in green economic growth and suggests further research to provide a detailed view of skills demand and potential mismatches. Alongside the report, we are also sharing the full Excel spreadsheet to enable others to learn from and build on the methodology. We look forward to feedback and efforts to build on this.
