💼 Switzerland Led Demand for Green Talent Jobs

Switzerland led global growth in green talent demand in 2024 with a 200% rise, followed closely by Greece at 180% and Brazil at 110%. This sharp demand reflects how workforce needs are shifting toward sustainability-focused roles across energy, infrastructure and corporate sectors. As employers seek skills in renewable energy and circular economy practices, workers are increasingly upskilling to remain competitive. The EU’s Green Deal continues to accelerate this workforce transformation.

🍃 China Emitted the Highest Percentage of Carbon

China accounted for over a quarter of global carbon emissions in 2022, while the US contributed 11.5% and India 7.7%. Together, the top three emitters made up nearly half of worldwide emissions, underscoring the challenge of balancing growth with sustainability. With rising pressure from climate agreements and global forums, countries are pursuing renewable energy expansion and carbon reduction policies, such as the UN’s Race to Zero initiative, to drive long-term decarbonization.

🏭 Global Funding for Mobility On The Rise 

Global mobility funding rose from $16B in 2015 to $54B in 2024, reaching an all-time high at $88B in 2021 before declining. This reflects a post-pandemic surge in venture capital for transport and workforce mobility solutions, particularly increased investment in electric vehicles.  An abundance of charging facilities and competitive pricing of EVs has diversified consumer behaviour. Many national initiatives crafted around “green discounts”, incentivising consumers to shift towards greener transport methods, will further expand the scope of the global mobility sector.
