Geoscience professionals support subsurface exploration and management, vital for clean energy initiatives. However, some western countries are experiencing a workforce gap as fewer young professionals enter the field, posing risks to long-term energy transition goals. Addressing this requires targeted investment in education and training to sustain the expertise needed for a resilient net-zero strategy. We also need to address the image of the industry and its attractiveness to a new generation who are concerned with climate change. (Organised by EAGE Young Professional’s community)
