dc.description.abstractLatin America and the Caribbean (LAC) face significant challenges in the context of climate change, but they also have a unique opportunity to lead the transition toward more sustainable and low-carbon economies. To achieve this, it is essential to have a workforce capable of adapting to the demands of both emerging sectors and traditional ones that are undergoing changes, thereby contributing effectively to the economic transformation required by the green transition. However, the region faces a considerable gap between the skills available and those required to meet these objectives. Thus, this document primarily addressed to public policy makers proposes a guide to developing the human capital the region needs in order to succeed in the green transition.
