With the European Union investing significantly in renewable energy technologies and green infrastructure, the regional bloc is relying on education to promote the EU Green Deal among Europeans. The human element will be key to accelerating the EU’s transition from fossil fuels to renewables, particularly in terms of specialized labor.
Many EU nations have hundreds of millions to billions of dollars’ worth of green energy investments set aside, but have been held back by human resource shortages in key green energy-related fields. Furthermore, the ultimate success of the EU Green Deal will be dependent on EU citizens understanding and adopting new practices and technologies that promote clean energy.
The European Union is counting on education to help solve these two issues. Some experts propose looking at climate change from a perspective that combines social, professional, and civic dimensions rather than a ‘black swan’ event that calls for substantial reallocation of finances into green energy and sustainable infrastructure.
Unfortunately, the average consumer doesn’t have an intimate awareness of energy systems, national grids, and how they are tied to the economy, especially if they aren’t in the economic or energy fields. As such, equipping individuals with knowledge on complex energy-related topics through educational programs and re-skilling initiatives can help increase people’s awareness of how their energy use affects the energy grid, as well as the benefits of transitioning to renewable energy and green infrastructure.
This will, in turn, help them make more informed decisions and will most likely increase the number of Europeans willingly transitioning to green infrastructure and using renewable energy whenever the option is available. Furthermore, making education a key pillar of the EU Green Deal will equip the regional bloc with the specialized workforce it will need to support a mass transition from fossil fuels and fossil-fuel-reliant technology to renewables like solar and wind.
EUSEW Young Energy Ambassador Alexandru Muresan proposes a program dubbed ‘The Green Deal Education Initiative – Education First’ that would support high schools, parent associations, and universities by helping them adapt their curricula and create new subjects geared around the transition to renewables. Muresan notes that even though the EU can’t mandate new educational subjects or change curricula directly, it can collaborate with member states and support their efforts to bring education into the EU Green Deal.
The EU’s support could involve providing Education Ministries in member states with the technical and financial support they would need to enhance and adapt their educational frameworks. Educating younger generations on the importance of green energy, as well as the career opportunities available in the nascent sector, will ensure the industry has enough skilled workers to sustain it. Furthermore, education will ensure that residential and commercial consumers are aware of the benefits of green energy and integrate it into their daily activities as much as possible.
As more people become educated about green energy, entities like First Tellurium Corp. (CSE: FTEL) (OTCQB: FSTTF) could benefit more by producing the needed green energy metals as the uptake of renewable energy accelerates not just in Europe but around the world.
