Evidence on jobs and skills in the low‑carbon transition.
An interdisciplinary lab at LSE combining economics, data science, political economy and sociology to build the evidence base on how the green transition is changing work, skills, and opportunity.
This report studies the alignment of low-carbon apprenticeship provision in England with the emerging low-carbon skill needs in the economy. We analyse the detailed skill content of apprenticeships’ training plans (apprenticeship standards) to understand whether they can deliver the low-carbon skills needed to decarbonise key sectors including energy sector, buildings and transport.
We map low‑carbon job adverts across the US and document how skill requirements and wage premia vary by occupation and place.
Using online job vacancies in the UK, we analyse where low‑carbon demand is emerging and how it differs across skill levels.
A shared focus on measurement, firm behaviour, and regional adjustment.
We develop harmonised definitions and indicators for green jobs and skills, enabling comparison across countries and over time.
We leverage large online job vacancies and patents datasets to measure how firms’ skill needs are changing, and where shortages are most acute.
We study how the green transition plays out across places—tracking winners, losers, wages and mobility at local level.
Metrics designed to be transparent and easy to reuse in research and policy analysis.
A planned yearly snapshot of demand, skills and regional patterns across the UK, EU, US and South Asia.
Workshops and a regular seminar series to connect researchers working on labour markets and decarbonisation.
Roundtable event bringing together participants from academia, trade unions, and the third sector to address knowledge challenges and solutions for worker-led industrial transitions
A monthly online seminar connecting researchers working at the interface of labour markets, the green transition and climate change adaptation.
We work with researchers, policymakers and practitioners who want credible evidence on how decarbonisation reshapes labour markets. Typical collaborations include: co‑authored research, policy briefings, and applied work on data definitions and measurement.

We are developing an online seminar series held every month. Details will be posted on the Events page.
