The publication underlines the important role played by trade unions, employers’ organisations and individual employers in supporting the Europe 2020 strategy’s goal of turning the EU into a smart, sustainable and inclusive economy capable of delivering high levels of employment, productivity and social cohesion.
The study explores a selection of different and emerging models of social partner participation and engagement in the transition towards a low-carbon economy. It explores 4 thematic issues and presents best practices:
– identification and anticipation of competences and skills needs;
– recognition and validation of competences and qualifications;
– information, support and guidance;
– mobilising resources for the lifelong development of competences.
Amongst others also the Austrian klima:aktiv initiative in Austria is presented as best practice and reference to the Austrian Masterplan for Ensuring Human Resources for Renewable Energies (coordinated by 3s) is made.
