Abstract

The world faces challenges that affect communities and landscapes at a global and a local scale. Many of these are linked to human activities. The good news is they can be resolved by human action. But it will take work by people with the right knowledge and skills. Some call the skills needed Green Skills, but what are they, how can we gain these skills, and where does Geography come in? In this talk I discuss some of the latest evidence of the growth in demand for green skills and explain how Geographers at every level can and will contribute to the global effort to address these challenges. I conclude with some suggestions for where to find out more about green skills and where to obtain them. This talk was designed with Year 10 and older students in mind.
