Green Skills Committee Report 2025 identifies green skills and training pathways needed for low-carbon economy
26 February 2026
On 30 January 2026, the Ministry of Trade and Industry (“MTI”) and SkillsFuture Singapore (“SSG”) published the Green Skills Committee (“GSC”) Report, which documents the GSC’s findings on green skills needed to thrive in a low-carbon economy, and practical pathways to build these capabilities.
Over the past two years, the GSC conducted a comprehensive review of green skills demand and interventions across four horizontal and nine vertical sectors. The findings show that the green transition is already reshaping career pathways, business models, and workforce needs across Singapore’s economy, with new jobs emerging in areas such as climate risk analysis, sustainable procurement, and carbon services and trading. Collectively, more than a hundred interventions and programmes have been implemented by agencies and stakeholders to develop green skills that will be relevant for existing and future job roles.
The GSC also identified sustainability reporting and the energy sector as areas which are crucial for the economy to prepare for a low-carbon future and have strong near-term demand for green skills, with about 5,000 workers projected to be needed in both sectors by 2030. Two sub-workgroups were created to address the skills gap in these areas, and nine interventions were developed, including the Accounting and Corporate Regulatory Authority’s Sustainability Reporting Body of Knowledge, and Continued Education and Training programmes across the energy sector.
The GSC also worked with SSG and Workforce Singapore to launch self-help resources for businesses and workers, to complement Government and institution-led interventions.
The publication of the GSC report marks the conclusion of the committee’s work and reaffirmed MTI and SSG’s commitment to working with all stakeholders to continually evolve green skills development in tandem with business and regulatory needs.
