Synopsis

In this inaugural collaboration between Asia Institute of Mentoring (AIM) and Climate Incubator (HK), on the topic “How does the Market for Green Jobs Look Like?”, we explore the current and future state of the green job market here in Asia, specifically in Hong Kong and in Singapore / ASEAN.

We’ll start by exploring the different types of green jobs existing in today’s economy, and what those jobs are like. We’ll also discuss why there are so many different types of green jobs available (and why that matters), as well as what skills you need to work in this exciting emerging space.

Some leading questions: 

  • What talents and skills are needed in the market? 

  • What industries today require green talent? 

  • How would you best describe the current situation in Singapore and Hong Kong?

  • Where are the biggest opportunities in the green space - in the coming 10-20 years?

ABOUT CLIMATE INCUBATOR

Our journey includes the Green Roller Project, our signature program that provides an overview of the green job industry in Hong Kong with the participation of eight local and international organisational partners. This is a platform for youth, young professionals, business partners, and NGOs to be climate incubators, passing on their knowledge and experience to the next generation of climate leaders.
