    Towards a Sustainable Human Capital Agenda for the water sector

  • The Working Group Human Capital is working on a White Paper to support the development of a sustainable skills agenda for a Water-Smart Society. Working on the goals of reaching a water smart society using the Green Deal, and new horizon programmes, in the water sector we need to take into account major changes in the skills demands in the future.

    Therefore the European Commission not only launched the Green Deal for example, but also the European Skills Agenda. People working in the water sector need to adapt to new skills for applying new knowledge and tools, such as digitalization, nature based solutions, and change their way of working due to the changes in the labour market and the need of more (citizen) engagement and holistic approaches.   
     
    To achieve a Water-Smart Society we not only need technical innovation also social innovations. To support this development the Working Group Human Capital is writing a White Paper and needs your help!
