The world's workforce is ill-equipped to forge ahead with the transition to a sustainable, low-carbon economy, despite booming global demand for green professionals, new research from LinkedIn has found. The professional networking platform's 2023 Global Green Skills Report, published this week, revealed that while green job postings are up by 15.2 percent year-on-year, demand for talent is outstripping supply. Globally, green job postings grew nearly twice as fast as the share of green talent between 2022 and 2023, with "sustainability analyst," "sustainability specialist" and "sustainability manager" among the 10 fastest-growing roles on LinkedIn between 2018 and 2022.

However, just one in eight U.K. workers were found to be equipped with skills such as climate action planning, corporate sustainability and sustainable procurement, compared to one in seven workers in France and one in six in Germany. The shortfall in green skills was further underscored by the fact a third of advertised jobs in the U.K. now include some form of green skills. The findings chime with warnings from experts

Now LinkedIn, the social network for professionals, is trying to get in on the act as well. The Microsoft-owned business is about to start testing an ad product that will allow marketers to target LinkedIn users when they’re watching movies and TV shows on streaming services, said people familiar with the matter. The ad product is an ambitious step for LinkedIn, which generates most of its $5 billion in annual ad revenue with ads sold on its news feed.
