Date: 11th of October 2023, 09:30-10:30, at the Committee of the Regions in Brussels (Jacques Delors, JDE 51)

A discussion between three local projects on the importance of approaching the green transition through inclusive skills development. The projects focus on socially inclusive development of skills, but take different approaches: sustainable recreation and conservation of nature (Oslo), industry/city cooperation (Volvo/Gothenburg), and creating future job profiles (Madrid).
