As the world shifts towards more sustainable energy sources, the region’s economies, historically reliant on fossil fuels, face both significant risks and transformative opportunities. ESCWA released a new report entitled: “Investing in the Future: The Role of Human Capital in Enabling Just Energy Transitions in the Arab Region”.
The report examines the pivotal role of human capital in driving just, inclusive and sustainable energy transitions. It highlights key themes including employment, economic diversification, youth engagement, skills development, education reform and innovative financing.
Combining qualitative and quantitative research methods, including surveys, focus groups and case studies, the report offers valuable insights into addressing skills gaps, fostering innovation, and enabling equitable access to the benefits of energy transitions.
