India is estimated to create about 30 million green jobs by 2050. What does this mean in terms of skills needed for these careers?
“There’s a massive supply-demand gap that’s opening up, and it’s being felt in everything from the lack of chemical engineers in battery companies to the shortfall of ESG analysts in financial services,” says Swapna Gupta, Partner at Terra.do, a climate learning platform.
The founder of Terra.do, Anshuman Bapna, says that jobs that require green skills are growing 8% annually, while people with those skills are only growing at 6%.
