Dear Sir/ Madam,

It is with great pleasure that we invite you to attend the online High-Level Round Table “Human Capital and Climate Change: what nexus” on 16 December 2020, starting at 11:00 (CET Time).

The High-Level Round Table is organised by the European Training Foundation (ETF) together with the International Institute for Administrative Sciences (IIAS –
www.iias-iisa.org ) in the framework of the IIAS 2020 Conference “Public Governance for Climate Action”.

The nexus between human capital and climate action touches upon four dimensions:

The skills needed for employment will be affected by the transformation of the economy towards a green/circular model.

The development of human capital in support of climate action will rely on partnerships that engage public, private, non-profit and civil society actors.

The sustainability of the environment and the development of human capital are
common Goods, they concern all citizens and the social cohesion.

The scale for action is systemic, within countries and across countries. The European Green Deal is promoting action at system level, within and beyond the EU.

The Round Table will be chaired by
Cesare Onestini, ETF Director, and will feature:

- Nicolas Schmit, EU Commissioner for Jobs and Social Rights,

-
Sofiane Sahraoui, IIAS Director General,

-
Geert Bouckaert, former President of the IIAS and Professor at the KU Leuven Public Governance Institute,

-
Rainer Kattel, Deputy Director of the UCL Institute for Innovation and Public Purpose,

-
Tamar Kitiashvili, Georgian Deputy Minister of Education, Science, Culture and Sports.

The event will be delivered in English, using the ZOOM application.
