30 million jobs will come from the 'green transition' of the productive world by 2030.
This is stated by research by ManpowerGroup, according to which companies are in difficulty: 94% do not have the necessary professionals and 75% cannot find the talent they need needs to achieve its ESG objectives.
"The path towards a more climate and environmentally sustainable economy, promoted by consumers, investors and institutions, will accelerate the green transformation of companies and lead to an increase in sustainability employment opportunities, creating up to 30 million new jobs of jobs in the world by 2030", explains the study, adding that globally only one worker in eight has more than one 'green' skill, with Italy being among the countries with the greatest skill shortages.
The survey, which involved around 40,000 employers and over 5,000 people in 41 countries, reveals a substantial gap between ambitious emissions reduction targets and access to the 'green' talent needed to achieve environmental goals.
According to the report, 70% of companies across all sectors plan to hire sustainability talent, so-called 'green jobs'.
The strongest hiring intentions (81%) were found in the energy and public services sector, followed by the information technology (77%) and financial services sectors (75%), while the most sought-after green talents are those related to production functions (36 %), operations and logistics (31%), IT (30%), sales and marketing (27%), engineering (26%), administration (25%) and human resources (25%).
Furthermore, in Europe alone, over 1.7 million new green jobs could be created by 2040 thanks to the development of green molecules, such as hydrogen and biofuels, as part of the energy transition.
