What happened

An International Energy Agency report says the renewable-energy and energy-efficiency workforce is expanding, but shortages in technical skills, hiring pipelines, and training capacity could slow deployment.

Why it matters

Drawing on job-posting data, modelling, and surveys of more than 700 respondents, the report argues for coordinated training, worker transitions, and stronger labour-market information so clean-energy investment can translate into projects.
