I signed IEMA’s #GreenSkillsatCOP open letter because green skills are increasingly vital for the legal sector. As we navigate the complexities of climate change, the legal sector plays a crucial role in shaping and enforcing the policies that drive sustainability. Green skills are essential for legal professionals to effectively guide businesses and governments through the evolving landscape of environmental regulations and climate commitments. Green skills matter in terms of regulatory compliance, risk management, advising sustainable practices, litigation and advocacy, and future-proofing legal practices. * With a growing body of environmental laws and regulations, legal professionals with green skills can help clients stay compliant, avoiding penalties and ensuring that their operations align with global sustainability goals. * Climate change poses significant risks to businesses, from physical impacts to reputational damage. Lawyers with expertise in green skills can identify, manage, and mitigate these risks, providing strategic advice that safeguards their clients' interests. * As companies and governments commit to reducing their carbon footprints, legal advisors with green skills can offer critical guidance on implementing sustainable practices, from drafting green contracts to advising on renewable energy projects. * The rise of climate-related litigation highlights the need for lawyers who understand the intricacies of environmental law. Green skills empower legal professionals to advocate effectively for climate justice and hold entities accountable for their environmental impact. As sustainability becomes a cornerstone of global policy, the demand for legal professionals with green skills will only grow. These skills are not just a trend —they are essential for the future of legal practice. By integrating green skills into our legal strategies, we’re not just advising on the law—we’re shaping a sustainable future. Let’s take this opportunity to lead in climate-conscious legal practice. #SustainableLaw #ClimateChange #LegalInnovation #EnvironmentalLaw #ClimateJustice #FutureOfLaw #RegulatoryCompliance

#GreenSkillsAtCOP. Sarah Mukherjee MBE explains it eloquently in the attached video. Having a global vision; a governmental mission statement or national strategic objective is pointless without building the skills needed to deliver them. Getting this embedded as part of every countries National Action Plans is important or everything unravels. The next decade presents us with unprecedented opportunities, and the sooner we develop transformative skills the better. As the recent Deloitte/IEMA report on a 'Blueprint for Green Workforce Transformation' demonstrated we anticipate a world where "carbon emissions are captured and reused, and homes have moved to low-carbon heating. AI-driven farming will produce more from less land; food 'waste' will be transformed into valuable medicine, while in our cities low-energy travel will be the norm." It's not just societal and industrial transformation: Marketing, HR, IT and Finance are all set to become greener. Green skills will soon be business-as-usual; part of every job every day, much as digital has become. The COPs present us with an opportunity to shift the dial across the globe on this.

Think green skills have nothing to do with you because you don't work in sustainability? Think again. Everyone’s future depends on a green transition—and it starts with the right education and training. And here's the truth: without proper education and skills for a green workforce, people won’t be equipped — or motivated — to adapt to the changes necessary for a sustainable future. By signing IEMA's petition, you’re supporting inclusive green skills that empower individuals and communities to lead climate action. Let’s push for policies that prepare a workforce ready to drive the shift to sustainable industries. Join the movement. Sign now for a greener, fairer world: greenskillsatcop.iema.net

🌱 I added my name to IEMA and Content With Purpose’s #GreenSkillsatCOP campaign because green skills are crucial for the future of marketing. Here is why you should too:   In today’s rapidly changing world, marketing is no longer just about selling products—it's about promoting values, sustainability, and long-term impact. This is where green skills come into play.   Green skills in marketing refer to the knowledge and abilities needed to develop sustainable practices, from understanding eco-friendly products to crafting campaigns that resonate with environmentally-conscious consumers.   Why do green skills matter in marketing? - Consumer Demand: Today's consumers are more informed and passionate about sustainability. Brands that align with eco-friendly practices are not only more attractive but also build deeper trust and loyalty. - Brand Reputation: Companies that prioritize green practices are seen as responsible and forward-thinking. This boosts brand image and differentiates them in a crowded marketplace. - Regulatory Compliance: With increasing regulations around sustainability, marketers with green skills can ensure that campaigns and product claims meet legal standards, avoiding potential pitfalls. - Innovation Opportunities: Embracing green skills opens doors to innovative marketing strategies and partnerships. From eco-packaging to carbon-neutral campaigns, the possibilities are endless. -Future-Proofing Careers: As sustainability becomes integral to business strategy, marketers with green skills will be in high demand.

🌱 I added my name to IEMA and Content With Purpose’s #GreenSkillsatCOP campaign because green skills are essential for building a sustainable future for both people and planet. What are green skills? Green skills refer to the knowledge, abilities and practices that enable individuals to contribute to sustainable development and environmental protection. Why green skills matter in your industry: Green skills are applicable to all jobs. As environmental concerns become increasingly more integral to business strategies, having a workforce equipped with green skills helps organisations reduce their carbon footprint, improve resource management, and comply with regulations. Moreover, these skills foster innovation, thus enabling employees to develop eco-friendly solutions and products, regardless of their sector. Ultimately, integrating green skills into every workplace prepares organisations to adapt to a rapidly changing market whilst supporting a collective shift towards sustainability and global resilience. By incorporating green skills into our collective job roles, we are empowering one another to create change. Let’s embrace this opportunity to make a positive impact and contribute to a healthier planet. 🌍💚 #GreenSkillsatCOP #Sustainability #EcoFriendly

I signed IEMA's & Content With Purpose's #GreenSkillsAtCOP open letter. Incorporating sustainability into sales strategies and company policies does more than enhance a brand’s image — it builds lasting customer relationships and opens doors to innovative, green-focused markets. Unlocking the power of green skills is a game-changer for sales managers in today’s market. As demand for sustainable products and services surges, these skills aren’t just an advantage, they’re essential. By mastering eco-friendly practices, sales leaders can confidently pitch products and services that meet high environmental standards, resonate with the growing base of eco-conscious consumers, and stay ahead of regulatory demands. Moreover, today’s top talent seek purpose-driven workplaces. Candidates are increasingly drawn to companies with a strong commitment to sustainability and social responsibility, making it easier to attract and retain motivated employees who share these values. #GreenSkillsAtCOP

Climate change and the global loss of biodiversity are twin crises that need to be tackled together. To create a greener future, we must act swiftly and decisively, and we need green skills to do so. 🌍 IEMA is spearheading a campaign at this year’s COP summits to drive real action — and we need your support. Our #GreenSkillsAtCOP campaign demands that countries meeting at COP prioritise green education, skills, and jobs. At the UN COP16 Biodiversity Summit in Colombia and COP29 Climate Summit in Azerbaijan, countries will develop and update their National Action Plans to tackle these twin crises. However, a commitment to invest in green skills that are essential for delivering these plans is so far still absent. IEMA will be reaching out to UK Ministers and COP presidents, advocating for this cause. We urge you to visit https://lnkd.in/eSGs7zt6 and add your name to the campaign.

Arguably the most crucial aspect of getting the planet to net zero is making sure we have both the cross cutting and specific sector skills to make the transition. Powerful campaign led by IEMA in the run up to and at both COPs this year. The lack of skills and resource was also cited in our recent #CAFATracker as one of the biggest barriers to membership organisations taking action internally and with their members. Climate Action for Associations urge all membership organisations to- *sign up to this campaign to get #GreenSkillsatCOP high up on the agenda at both COP’s this year *Share the Campaign with your members * Consider what will it take to ensure your sector has the people and skills required for a sustainable future? #RacetoZero #Associations Sarah Mukherjee MBE High-Level Climate Champions 👇🌎
