摘要：AbstractA great many people have already embraced the need for education and training as a key to moving the workforce and society in general toward a sustainable living process. Education bodies and employers are beginning to recognise this trend and know about the need for training in the manifold aspects of sustainable development (SD). Different actions are being set by higher educational bodies and employers are also becoming aware of the needs (competences, knowledge and skills for SD) of their employees. The aim of this paper is to give an indication of (1) the importance of SD competences, knowledge and skills according to professional practice, in Europe; and (2) whether there is a need for new jobs in the field of SD.
