The energy efficiency sector currently employs 10 million workers worldwide, with the potential to grow by another 4.5 million by 2030 if targets set at COP28 to double energy efficiency are met. With the sector requiring a diverse skillset across various industries, many countries are facing workforce development challenges due to labour shortages and skills mismatches. While global efforts by governments and industry to implement training initiatives are increasing to meet this demand, it is critical that inclusivity remains a paramount consideration. This ensures that underrepresented groups including women, low-income individuals, indigenous nations and peoples, and marginalised communities have equitable access to job opportunities and benefits from the energy efficiency sector.

This event, organised as part of the IEA’s collaboration with the CEM Empowering People Initiative on skills for clean energy transitions, will delve into the importance of developing inclusive skills training initiatives and share best practices and strategies from various regions on how to design effective programmes.
