Celebrating success stories: the role of skills in achieving the green transition

The Green Skills Award is a global initiative that was first introduced in 2021. Each year it celebrates outstanding ideas and inspiration from all over the world about innovation happening thanks to individuals and institutions. This initiative has become a source of good practices that can inspire people everywhere to make real change happen in creating circular and carbon-neutral economies and societies, and to contribute to sustainable development.

The results of the public vote (winner) and ETF jury's vote (second and third positions) were announced on 13 June: Green Skills Award Winners 2024.
