Recital 15

Regulation (EU) 2023/435 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 27 February 2023 amending Regulation (EU) 2021/241 as regards REPowerEU chapters in recovery and resilience plans and amending Regulations (EU) No 1303/2013, (EU) 2021/1060 and (EU) 2021/1755, and Directive 2003/87/EC · European Union

(15) Investments in infrastructure and technologies alone are not sufficient to ensure a reduction in dependency on fossil fuels in view of existing labour and skill shortages. In that context, it is already possible to dedicate resources to the reskilling and upskilling of people, to further equipping the workforce with green skills as well as to the research and the development of innovative solutions linked to the green transition. Member States are encouraged to further invest in reskilling and upskilling, especially for green and related digital skills and technologies, to ensure that no one will be left behind throughout the green transition. Where a Member State includes in its REPowerEU chapter measures related to reskilling and upskilling of people, the Commission should consider whether such measures significantly contribute to supporting a requalification of the workforce towards green and related digital skills.
