Alongside the digital transformation, mitigating climate change and preserving biodiversity and natural resources are the greatest global challenges facing society today. The Institute for Employment Research (IAB) therefore also focuses on the green transformation towards a low-carbon, environmentally friendly economy and its impact on the labour market. Of particular interest in this context is how the ‘double transformation’, i.e. when digitalisation and decarbonisation have to be managed at the same time, affects the labour market.
What effect will the green transformation have on different sectors and vocations? Is the labour market ready for the transition to a low-carbon economy? Are green jobs the future? Could they even fuel a new economic miracle? What requirements in terms of qualifications and skills profiles need to be considered in the transition to sustainable growth? How will the green transformation affect the trainee/apprenticeship market? We have compiled a list of IAB publications and projects on this page that help to answer these and other questions you may have about the green transformation and the workplace.
