South Africa has substantial renewable energy resources (solar and wind) and is advancing in sectors like hydrogen technology but there isn’t enough development of green talent to run these new renewable projects. Globally, there’s a shortage of people with the expertise and skills needed to drive the transition towards a green economy – known as green talent. The pool of green talent needs to be doubled by 2050 if the world is to move away from fossil fuels. In South Africa, despite efforts, there are still gaps in green talent training. These are delaying the transition away from coal.
