Energize it, industrialize it and make it work
Foresighted structural policy is needed to ensure that Europe can assert itself in tomorrow’s tough international competition for key industries, safeguarding prosperity and providing decent jobs. The market alone will not suffice. A protective, guiding and future-oriented state is the essence of social democracy.
We shall serve as a platform for strategic exchange between industrial and energy policy and learning from the experiences of others.

The Jobs of Our Future
Being climate neutral by 2050 means transforming fundamentally the way we work today. To accelerate the decarbonisation, energy policies and digitalization have to go hand in hand.
This "twin transition" won't only be about creating completely new jobs - but about transforming professions that we have known for a long time. However, our industries and economies realise that they do not have enough skilled labour to meet the demands of the energy and digital transition.
The shortage of skilled labour is becoming a more and more pressing issue, as this may jeopardise our prosperity in Europe. It also puts our climate and energy targets at risk. Now is the moment to address the changes needed for the energy and digital transition and the risk of labour shortage.
FES Just Climate compiled an infographic to visualise how will the different jobs change and which skills will be needed in the future.
