Abstract

The European Green Deal aims to make Europe climate-neutral by 2050, boost the economy through green technology, create sustainable industry and transport, and cut pollution. The green transition is seen as a game changer in the EU labour market alongside digitalisation and automation. Skill needs will change with impacts far beyond the key occupations driving them, affecting all economic sectors. To get a better grasp on potential future outcomes, and better anticipate their potential policy implications, a set of future scenarios has been developed around the prospects for green technological leadership and socio-technical transition in Europe. R&I policy implications have been drawn from those scenarios.
