CLIMATE GOALS
Winning the challenge of climate goals through the creation of skills and competences worldwide
The global energy transition represents one of the most significant challenges and opportunities of the 21st century.
As the world grapples with the urgent need to mitigate climate change and secure sustainable energy sources, countries worldwide are at various stages of this complex transformation. The process involves not only technological and infrastructural changes, but also profound shifts in policy, economics, and societal attitudes.
This survey, conducted by Ipsos for the Fondazione MAIRE – ETS in 2023 and 2024, covers 12 countries in 4 continents and aims at scouting the perception around importance and urgency to build skills and competences on the energy transition.
The picture shows an international community that is increasingly aware of the need for the energy transition and how the creation of new skills is an absolute necessity for it to succeed.
The relevance of investing in skills development to achieve progress toward climate goals is a theme recognized by all countries in the survey. We believe it is a fundamental, urgent step, with priority over even the availability of financial resources, to reach climate goals within the time target that the international community has set.
Enhancing the energy transition – COP29
“Climate goals”’ research continues! Addendum 1 of our paper on the perceived global urgency for the creation of new competences for the energy transition has two new protagonists: Azerbaijan and Kazakhstan, looking forward to COP29.
Enhancing the energy transition – COP28
“Climate goals.Winning the challenge of climate goals through the creation of skills and competences worldwide”: this is the title of our first research, created to investigate the responsiveness of countries on this theme’ urgency, and presented at COP28 in Dubai in December 2023.
OUR RESEARCH GRANTS
Call for research grants: migratory flows and energy transition
The global challenge of energy transition can be a golden opportunity for job creation and social inclusion. Following this persuasion, in June 2024, we launched our first call for research grants to carry out socio-economic studies investigating the relationship between migration flows and energy transition.
Call for research grants: who is the humanist engineer
The global challenge of the energy transition is demanding new competences, soft skills integrated in a multidisciplinary long-term vision. The paradigm we advocate to outline this key figure of transformation is the ‘humanist engineer’, and through a research grant and collaboration with the University of Florence - Department of Information Engineering -, we aim to profile its identikit!
