Learning for a sustainable future
Do you have the skills for the new green economy?
An increased awareness of the effects of climate change
and the impacts of these changes on industries based in
NSW and operating in both domestic and global markets
will require enterprises to think smarter about how they
do business and act now to reduce the potential negative
impacts of market choice and government regulation.
Before 2050 there will be:
ccA decisive shift from coal powered electricity to gas and
renewable energy
ccAn uptake of energy efficient building design
incorporating solar passive living, with extensive
retrofitting of existing building stock
ccA shift to more efficient transport, including a reduction in
the share of private vehicles used for commuter transport
ccChanges in eating habits to emphasise healthy fresh
food with increased consumption of fruit, vegetables and
cereals
ccA long term reduction in the extraction and export of
minerals 1
Climate change demands not only the development of new
skills to support new jobs in new industries, it also demands
that existing jobs and industries are re-oriented to go
‘green’.
‘Green jobs’ are jobs that contribute to better environmental
outcomes or increased sustainability, and will increase as we
move towards a global low carbon economy.
As a result, this new green economy will require skills and
capability in:
ccPlanning and Design
ccBusiness Leadership and Entrepreneurship
ccProject Management and Procurement
ccBusiness Management Expertise

Specialist manufacturing
