Skills we need to make our future green

“

- Sir David Attenborough has said, "The future of humanity and, indeed, all life on earth, "now depends on us." (gentle music) Nations across the globe have made ambitious commitments to reach climate change targets. The big question is, how can our economies grow more thoughtfully, more climate-friendly, while also providing new opportunities for people? The answer? By making the transition to a green economy. My name is Sue Duke, and I'm vice president and head of Public Policy and Economic Graph at LinkedIn. Closely linked to the future of work is the future of our planet and the need for a green transition. So, how can you get yourself ready for the green opportunities that lie ahead? Why not start today by thinking about the green skills you could acquire in your existing or new role to start making an impact? Because after all, we are tied by a common objective, to leave the earth better than we found it. (bright music)
