Abstract	This study focused on people in Madrid with low qualifications, meaning those with at most a lower secondary qualification who experience a high risk of poverty and social exclusion, and explored green job opportunities that exist for them, including those that would require reskilling (training to obtain different skills) or upskilling (training to obtain more advanced skills). In this study (unless stated otherwise), green jobs are understood as jobs in businesses that produce goods or provide services that benefit the environment or conserve natural resources, and green skills denote skills needed to adapt products, services and processes to climate change and the related environmental requirements and regulations. Evidence presented here includes national-level data (where regional and local information was not available) and focuses on data specific to green jobs or people with low qualifications. In Madrid, green jobs for people with low qualifications are present primarily in the renewable energy, waste management and treatment, and wastewater treatment and purification sectors. However, future employment opportunities for workers with low qualifications are expected to fall, while demand for high- and medium-level qualifications is expected to grow. Some interventions were specifically dedicated to helping people with low qualifications into green jobs and most were tailored to young people. Full details can be found in the main report.
