Hosts TCS and LinkedIn say:

The "jobs of tomorrow" - those needed for the digital, green and energy transitions - require new skills and new perspectives. Leading advisors estimate 155m new green economy roles by 2030 and this new wave of technology is leading to business model innovation and new modes of competition.

The opportunity for women in the Green Economy, the second episode from TCS WomenxChange presented by LinkedIn, will be a deep dive into how women can position themselves for success in this growing sector featuring three dynamic leaders.

Scientia Professor Veena Sahajwalla, ARC Laureate Fellow, Director of the ARC Microrecycling Research Hub at UNSW and 2022 NSW Australian of the Year, Junice Yeo, Executive Director & Head of ESG Intelligence at Eco-Business, and Mahua Acharya, CEO of Delhi-based International Energy Transition Platform and Board Member of the European Roundtable on Climate Change and Sustainable Transition, join host Michele Lemmens and co-moderator Grace Kerrison.
