To meet today\u2019s global sustainability challenges, the corporate world needs more than a few chief sustainability officers \u2013 it needs\u00a0an army of employees<\/a>, in all areas of business, thinking about sustainability in their decisions every day.<\/p>\n

That means product designers, supply managers, economists, scientists, architects and many others with the knowledge to both recognize unsustainable practices and find ways to improve sustainability for the overall health of their companies and the planet.<\/p>\n

Employers are increasingly looking for those skills. We analyzed job ads from a\u00a0global database<\/a>\u00a0and found a tenfold increase in the number of jobs with \u201csustainability\u201d in the title over the last decade, reaching 177,000 in 2021.<\/p>\n

What\u2019s troubling is that there are not enough skilled workers to meet the rapid growth in green and sustainability jobs available.<\/p>\n

While the number of \u201cgreen jobs<\/a>\u201d grew globally at a\u00a0rate of 8%<\/a>\u00a0per year over the last five years, the number of people listing green skills in their profiles only\u00a0grew by 6%<\/a>\u00a0per year, according to a LinkedIn analysis of its nearly 800 million users.<\/p>\n

As professors who train future workers in sustainability principles and techniques, we see several effective ways for people at all stages of their careers to gain those skills and increase those numbers.<\/p>\n

Where sustainability jobs are growing fastest<\/strong><\/h3>\n

In the U.S., jobs in the\u00a0renewable energy and environment sectors<\/a>,\u00a0grew by 237%<\/a>\u00a0over the last five years. Globally, the transition from fossil fuels to renewable energy is forecast to result in\u00a0a net increase in jobs<\/a>\u00a0for the energy sector.<\/p>\n

But green jobs go well beyond solar panel installation and wind turbine maintenance.<\/p>\n

Sustainable fashion is one of the fastest-growing green jobs sectors, averaging a\u00a090% growth rate<\/a>\u00a0annually between 2016 and 2020.<\/p>\n

The rapid expansion of ESG investing \u2013 environment, social and governance \u2013 and portfolio management is opening up new jobs in sustainable finance. In 2021, the accounting firm PwC announced that it would invest US$12 billion and create\u00a0100,000 new jobs<\/a>\u00a0in ESG investing by 2026.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

There is also a growing demand for urban sustainability officers who can help transition cities to be net-zero carbon and more resilient. After all, the world is adding\u00a01 million people to cities every five days<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0building 20,000 American football fields\u2019 worth of urban areas<\/a>\u00a0someplace on the planet every day.<\/p>\n

In 2013, when the Rockefeller Foundation\u00a0launched 100 Resilient Cities<\/a>, a network to help cities become more sustainable, few cities had a resilience or sustainability officer. Today, more than 250 communities and 1,000 local government professionals are part of the\u00a0Urban Sustainability Directors Network<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The number of companies with\u00a0chief sustainability officers<\/a>\u00a0in executive positions also\u00a0tripled<\/a>\u00a0from 9% to 28% between 2016 and 2021. But given the\u00a0scale and business opportunities of sustainability<\/a>, these skills are needed much more widely within organizations.<\/p>\n

So, where can you find training?<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Most sustainability and green jobs require creative problem-solving, synthesizing and\u00a0technical skills<\/a>. Some of those skills can be learned on the job, but boosting the number of qualified job applicants will\u00a0require more effective and accessible training<\/a>\u00a0opportunities that target employers\u2019 needs. Here are a some training sources to consider.<\/p>\n

University programs:<\/strong>\u00a0Sustainability is increasingly being incorporated into a wide range of university programs. Fifteen years ago, sustainability training was mostly ad hoc \u2013 a product designer or economist might have taken a class in sustainability approaches from the environmental science department. Today, U.S. universities have\u00a0about 3,000 programs<\/a>\u00a0with a \u201csustainability\u201d label, up from 13 in 2008.<\/p>\n

A National Academies\u00a0report<\/a>\u00a0recommends looking for a competency-based approach to sustainability learning that blends content with skills and links knowledge to action to solve problems and develop solutions.<\/p>\n

Micro-credentials:<\/strong>\u00a0For mid-career employees who\u00a0don\u2019t have the time<\/a>\u00a0to reinvest in full-fledged degrees, short courses and micro-credentials offered by universities, colleges or professional groups offer one way to develop sustainability skills.<\/p>\n

A micro-credential might involve taking a series of courses or workshops focused on a specific skill, such as\u00a0in wind energy technology<\/a>\u00a0or\u00a0how to incorporate ESG criteria<\/a>\u00a0into business operations.<\/p>\n

Short courses and micro credentials take up less time and are much less expensive than college degree programs. That may also help\u00a0lower-income individuals<\/a>\u00a0train for sustainability jobs and diversify the field.<\/p>\n

Specializations:<\/strong>\u00a0A similar option is jobs-focused online certificate programs with a sustainability specialization.<\/p>\n

For example, Google teamed up with universities to provide online courses for project managers, and Arizona State University is offering a\u00a0sustainability specialization<\/a>\u00a0to accompany it. Project management is an area where the\u00a0U.S. Department of Labor<\/a>\u00a0expects to see fast job growth, with\u00a0100,000 job openings<\/a>\u00a0in the next decade.<\/p>\n

Corporate training:<\/strong>\u00a0Some companies have developed their own internal sustainability training in\u00a0climate science<\/a>,\u00a0sustainable finance<\/a>,\u00a0sustainability reporting<\/a>\u00a0and other skills.<\/p>\n

Integrating sustainability across all functions of companies will require some level of sustainability training and understanding for most if not all employees. Companies like\u00a0Starbucks<\/a>,\u00a0HSBC<\/a>,\u00a0Salesforce<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0Microsoft<\/a>\u00a0have created internal training programs to spread sustainability knowledge and practice throughout their companies, not just for employees who have sustainability in their titles.<\/p>\n

Closing the gap<\/strong><\/h3>\n

A recent\u00a0survey by Microsoft and BCG<\/a>\u00a0of major companies found that only 43% of sustainability professionals in businesses had sustainability-related degrees, and 68% of sustainability leaders were hired internally.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s clear that on-the-job sustainability training and up-skilling will be necessary to fill the growing number of roles inside of companies.<\/p>\n

To meet the sustainability skills gap, we believe more training will be required \u2013 at colleges and universities, by professional organizations and from employers. Achieving global sustainability and meeting climate change challenges will become more likely as legions of people commit their working hours to sustainability solutions.<\/p>\n
