RESULTS OF THE MAIRE FOUNDATION STUDY AT COP29 IN BAKU: PEOPLE IN AZERBAIJAN AND KAZAKHSTAN AWARE OF THE URGENCY OF THE ENERGY TRANSITION
The study, sponsored by MAIRE's subsidiaries NEXTCHEM and TECNIMONT, shows that the international community is increasingly aware that energy transition requires new skills to create business and job opportunities. In general, the study finds that . The countries that face a major challenge in the transition to a sustainable economy based on renewable and circular solutions are those that will need the most investments in training and skill building in the coming years.
I , indicating a growing consciousness of environmental issues and the potential economic opportunities they offer, and suggesting a fertile ground for future energy transition initiatives.
A widespread recognition of this need is evident, with most individuals acknowledging their need for additional training in energy transition-related topics. This prospect is particularly appealing in those regions where traditional energy sector jobs may be at risk, offering a path for economic diversification.
The required skills range from technical expertise to soft skills. In Kazakhstan , with its vast natural resources and existing energy infrastructure, a primary focus is on analyzing and assessing the environmental impact. In Azerbaijan , where there's a growing emphasis on diversifying the energy sector, developing expertise in solar, wind, and other renewable energy sources is vital for the country's transition towards a more sustainable energy mix.
In Azerbaijan , problem-solving abilities are considered a priority, as the transition presents several challenges that require innovative solutions. In Kazakhstan , critical thinking skills are considered essential for analyzing complex data, evaluating alternative approaches, and making informed decisions.
By investing in human capital and fostering a knowledgeable and skilled workforce,
Azerbaijan and Kazakhstan can not only contribute to global climate goals but also position themselves advantageously in the emerging green economy landscape.
"The results of this study on Azerbaijan and Kazakhstan demonstrate that the energy transition is possible in every country, by adopting a gradual approach. All available technological solutions can contribute to the energy transition, including decarbonized gas. I hope that our Foundation's commitment will help accelerate the adoption of public policies to implement training programs for the essential skills needed to support this paradigm shift."
