Solar panel installers, architects, environmental scientists, recycling coordinators, wind turbine engineers, geologists, project managers, electric vehicle manufacturers – these are just a small subset of the countless jobs connected to the green revolution. But, for renewable energy to be a sustainable part of our lives, we need to ensure it offers both economic growth and climate security. The International Labour Organisation estimates that the energy transition could create 25 million new jobs by 2030. To achieve that remarkable goal, we will need investment to ensure that jobs and workers are protected, and to rethink the way our business and employment models work. What are the different opportunities available in the green economy? Are there any specific skills required to work in the energy transition? What pathways are available for underrepresented groups? To answer all these questions and more, host Kamal Ahmed met three members of Iberdrola’s ‘Global Green Team’ for a conversation about the new employment pathways provided by the energy transition. This podcast was produced by Intelligence Squared in partnership with Iberdrola. 🎧 https://lnkd.in/e5xkxmV4

Embracing the Future: Renewable Energy’s Impact on IT and Software Roles in North East Scotland The renewable energy sector is reshaping the business landscape across North East Scotland, especially within IT and software roles. As organisations respond to climate change and the shift towards sustainability, many are reassessing their strategies and investing in innovative technologies. This transformation presents both exciting opportunities and challenges for businesses and their employees, particularly those historically linked to the carbon industry. For firms in oil and gas, transitioning to renewables has become essential. Many are investing in advanced technologies, data analytics, and software solutions that enhance efficiency and sustainability. Moving towards renewable energy is not just a moral imperative; it’s vital for future-proofing operations in an increasingly sustainability-driven world. Up-skilling for IT and Software Professionals: For IT and software professionals, this transition raises significant considerations. While employees may be uncertain about leaving traditional carbon-based industries, this shift opens unique opportunities to up-skill. It’s vital to enhance your skillset through certifications in renewable technologies, workshops on sustainable software solutions, or exploring fields like AI applications in energy management. As job seekers assess their career options, they should consider employers' strategies to transition away from carbon-intensive practices. Inquiring about a company’s commitment to sustainability and digital innovation can greatly influence job satisfaction and growth. Navigating Excitement and Apprehension: This transition may evoke mixed feelings—excitement about new possibilities and apprehension regarding job security and retraining. Many are eager to engage in projects that contribute to a sustainable future, but concerns about adapting to new technologies can cause uncertainty. Ultimately, the move towards renewable energy presents substantial opportunities for the IT and software sectors in North East Scotland. By prioritising up-skilling and aligning with forward-thinking employers, IT professionals can become pioneers in the renewable energy revolution. #brightpurple #ITjobs #renewables #scotlandisnow #aberdeen #oilandgas

Is our #education system stuck in the fossilised past while the world goes green? 🌱 A global study reveals that 68% of global energy education degrees are still centred on fossil fuels, while just 32% are focused on renewable energy, as reported by the World Economic Forum. As green job opportunities surge globally, education systems need to adapt quickly to the #energy transition. We should incorporate #sustainable and #renewable energy into educational programmes as this is essential for preparing a workforce capable of supporting a greener future. #Collaborative efforts and strategic #investments can overcome these challenges! By redirecting resources, we can plant the seeds for a brighter future together! https://lnkd.in/gwVUQTDD

Beyond #climatechange The landscape of global energy employment is shifting rapidly. Under the current policies the global energy employment might undergo a big shift towards clean energy by 2030 with a net gain of 5.7 million jobs in the energy sector. In a more ambitious scenario targeting net zero by 2050, the job increase could nearly triple to 17 million. 🌱 It is therefore important to put in place robust policy and industry support to facilitate transitions for employees moving away from #fossilfuels and to bridge skill gaps through education and training. As we move towards a cleaner energy future, the focus is clear: significant job creation in clean energy, with a decisive shift away from fossil fuels. https://lnkd.in/eFJHuZca

"... The IEA’s current policy scenario is a conservative projection for progress in line with the present trajectory of our energy system. It doesn’t assume that nations will reach their announced goals or that net zero will be achieved by 2050. Even within this conservative scenario, the global energy sector is projected to have a net gain of 5.7 million jobs by 2030. Except for the 300,000 jobs added in the oil and gas supply industry, these jobs are all in clean energy. In a more ambitious scenario, aligned with achieving net zero by 2050, the net gain in jobs is projected to nearly triple to 17 million. ... In both scenarios, the global energy industry is poised to create millions of new jobs in the coming years, with the job gains in the clean energy sector significantly outweighing the job losses in the fossil fuel industry. A People-Centred Transition With projected growth of this magnitude, the IEA emphasizes that policymakers and industry must support employee transitions from fossil fuels and address skill gaps in emerging industries through education and training. According to the World Energy Employment report, continued efforts in these areas are crucial to prevent labor shortages and avoid delays in the clean energy transition. ..."

Important insights here on unlocking a workforce prepared for the energy transition. Just wanted to echo the point on education. I agree that sustainability should be embedded into more courses and degrees, including engineering. For the energy transition, this approach can prepare engineers for clean energy roles and demystify industry-specific jargon and standards, boosting confidence and competence. #energytransition #utilities #sustainability
