A new national report outlines key green skills and training pathways needed for Singapore’s shift to a low-carbon economy.
The Ministry of Trade and Industry (MTI) and SkillsFuture Singapore (SSG) have published the Green Skills Committee (GSC) Report 2025. The report sets out the green skills needed for workers and businesses to succeed in a low-carbon economy, and the practical steps to build these skills.
The Green Skills Committee was formed in November 2023. It brings together government agencies, industry leaders, unions, and training providers. Over two years, the committee studied how climate change and sustainability goals are changing jobs and skills across the economy.
The report covers 13 sectors, including finance, legal services, supply chain management, aviation, maritime, built environment, energy, carbon services and trading, and tourism. It shows that green skills are already in demand, from sustainability reporting and carbon accounting to clean energy engineering and green procurement.
Two priority areas were highlighted: sustainability reporting and the energy sector. Demand for these roles is expected to grow strongly, with about 5,000 workers needed by 2030. New training programmes, skills frameworks, and job pathways have been introduced to meet these needs.
The report also introduces tools and resources to help businesses and workers upskill. These include a green skills portal, enhanced training support, and programmes to help small and medium-sized enterprises build in-house sustainability capabilities.
MTI and SSG said the report provides a foundation for preparing Singapore’s workforce for climate change while creating new jobs and growth opportunities. The findings aim to help workers stay relevant and support businesses as Singapore moves towards its long-term goal of a low-carbon economy.
