"We often discuss the green transition and digital transformation in isolation, without systematically mapping where these skill sets actually overlap, or more importantly, where they don't." says Siddhi Pal, Senior Policy Researcher at Interface. In this episode of the AI at Scale podcast Siddhi explains why the combination of AI and green skills — named “twin transition skills” — is emerging as one of the most valuable capabilities in today’s economy. 

In this episode, you’ll learn: 

why defining and measuring green skills is critical for future workforce planning, 

which green skills are common among AI professionals, and which are still rare, 

how companies can balance internal reskilling with strategic external hires, 

what actions can help close the gender gap and expand talent pools. 

If you’re planning for growth in an era of climate action and AI acceleration, this episode delivers insights you can act on today.
