A sustainable green economy is a model that fosters economic growth and development while ensuring that natural assets continue to provide the resources and environmental services on which our well-being relies. It emphasizes "decoupling"—ensuring greenhouse gas emissions and resource depletion drop while economic output and profitability rise.

Sustainable, profitable green skills are the cross-disciplinary technical know-how and transferable "soft" skills required to drive the transition toward a low-carbon, circular economy while ensuring business productivity. These competencies are essential to close green skills gaps and capitalize on emerging sustainable markets.
