Demand is outpacing green skills supply The report’ s most striking warning is that hiring demand is racing ahead of skilling. From 2021-2025, green hiring grew almost twice as fast as the share of workers who actually possess green skills( 7.7 % vs 4.3 % globally). In every one of the 47 countries analysed, the share of green hires increased over this period, with countries such as Brazil, Canada, the US and the UK seeing annual green hiring growth well above green skills growth. Without accelerated learning and retraining, the report suggests that a sizeable share of future green roles could go unfilled, leaving both climate targets and economic opportunities on the table. ​
