UTS Online’s Dr. Parvez Mahmud, Program Director of the Master of Sustainable Energy and Master of Sustainable Leadership, said with carbon emissions and sustainability targets now being urgently adopted by governments and organisations worldwide, education providers have a key role to play in eliminating the ‘sustainable skills gap’.

“The role of education and training in closing the sustainable skills gap is very important. According to research quoted by LinkedIn, the Sustainable Skills Alliance estimates that there are 2 million jobs available globally in sustainable industries, yet only 600,000 people have been trained to fill them,” said Mahmud.

"The rapidly growing demand for sustainability skills is surpassing the increase in supply. According to LinkedIn’s 2023 Green Skills report, between 2022 and 2023, the proportion of green talent in the workforce increased by a median of 12.3% across the 48 countries examined. In contrast, the share of job postings requiring at least one green skill grew almost twice as fast, with a median increase of 22.4%."Clearly, there is an urgent need for an increased supply of professionals with sustainable skills to help combat climate change.

"The Master of Sustainable Leadership is specifically designed to address the challenges facing sustainable energies from multiple perspectives.
