(Green jobs. Concept analysis and situation in the Autonomous Community of the Basque Country)

The energy transition and the process of gradual decarbonization of the economy are giving rise to the development of new jobs, known as "green jobs", which may refer to new occupations and activities or to adapted existing jobs. These jobs require skills and qualifications adapted to the new context. Indeed, attention is increasingly being drawn to the need for such qualified personnel and, consequently, for the adaptation of training processes. In this context, this article focuses first on the definition of green jobs, the approach to the skills required for them and the typification of the jobs to be filled. This is followed by an analysis of the situation of the green labor market in the Basque Country.
