Gen Z wants jobs that help solve the climate crisis but has no idea how to get them

• Only 1 in 20 Gen Z workers have "green" skills, according to a LinkedIn analysis.
• Nearly two-thirds of Gen Z workers said the main barrier is a lack of job opportunities.
• The skills gap could make it harder for governments and companies to meet their climate goals.

Gen Z is considered the most climate-conscious generation, with nearly two-thirds saying they want a "green" job within the next five years.

That's according to a LinkedIn analysis, which found only 1 in 20 Gen Z workers have "green" skills like measuring carbon emissions, building solar, wind, and electric vehicle projects, reducing waste, or protecting water quality.
