The 2009 greenhouse gas and climate change: workforce needs assessment survey report [1]

This Greenhouse Gas and Climate Change Workforce Needs Assessment Survey was created to uncover some of the unique challenges facing this growing and diverse industry and, specifically, to obtain data regarding industry perceptions, growth projections, workforce needs, policy responses, favored/disfavored protocols, human capital needs and training practices, and other key developments related to this emerging and important global profession. Results of the survey now confirm the workforce and skills shortages that have been suspected by many of those already working in greenhouse gas and climate change fields, but this assumption has never before been confirmed with detailed findings such as these. However, this report goes beyond
assessing a labor shortage; it details the breadth and depth of the skills deficiency, the anticipated growth of the industry, and the development of the industry itself as a professionalized
occupation. The survey also touches on the establishment of carbon commodity markets as well as their potential for misuse.
