By now it’s clear that companies around the world need to rethink how they do business by considering their impact on our planet and its inhabitants. According to LinkedIn’s Global Green Skills Report, the demand for green talent rose 22.4% between 2022 and 2023. Unfortunately, the supply of workers who possess green skills is not keeping up. How can future leaders catch up? And what green skills do they need to fill these jobs?
