Transforming TVET for the green transition

As emphasised by the United Nations, climate change is the defining crisis of our time. There is a global responsibility to forge greener socio-economic systems at a rapid rate, which in turn requires the development of greener jobs and therefore greener skills training. This session will gather a range of perspectives from Asia’s TVET ecosystem to consider what the greening of skills development looks like in practice and how we can prepare the current and future workforce for an increasingly climate-conscious world.
