Description

The impacts of the global net-zero transition are felt strongly at the local level, and vary significantly between regions. Resource-rich regions will need to diversify their economies and manage the structural adjustment costs of phasing out activities linked to fossil fuels. On the other hand, they could benefit from growing demand for several minerals critical to green technologies, including a more than doubling of demand for critical minerals by 2030. This event will discuss how place-based policies can prepare local labour markets and raise workforce skill levels to facilitate long-term sustainable economic development. What skills and training policies are needed for mining regions to prosper in the green and digital transition? How can mounting skilled labour shortages be sufficiently addressed? How can government and private sector best work together to boost local economic growth?
