The Role of Green Skills in Shaping Future STEM Education

Abstract

Green skills, essential for promoting sustainability and environmental awareness, are increasingly influencing the direction of STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) education. This shift aligns with the global need for eco-friendly solutions to pressing environmental challenges. By integrating green skills into STEM curricula, educators can equip students with the tools to innovate in fields like renewable energy, sustainable engineering, and climate science. This abstract discusses how the inclusion of green skills in STEM fosters critical thinking, problem solving, and adaptability, helping students address real-world issues while driving the transition to a green economy. The fusion of STEM and green skills is pivotal in preparing future professionals to contribute to a more sustainable, low-carbon world.
