日本のGX文脈において
日本の石炭依存地域（例：北海道、福岡）の産業転換や、SSBJに基づく人的資本開示において、公正な移行の視点は重要。若年雇用のスキル転換は日本の地域政策にも示唆を与える。
In the global GX context
This paper contributes to global just transition scholarship by empirically assessing the skill gap between coal and green jobs, relevant for regions undergoing energy transitions. It offers a methodology applicable to other coal-dependent economies.

📄 Abstract（原文）
<title>Abstract</title> In an attempt to mitigate their effect on climate change, a number of economies have already, or are in the process of shifting away from a reliance on coal-based power. This just energy transition means that many existing jobs in the coal industry will be lost in favour of so-called “green jobs”, which aim to contribute positively and sustainably to the environment. South Africa is one such economy that is embarking on the process of a just transition, but given that the coal industry is predominantly represented by young people in the province of Mpumalanga, it is not clear how or if this vulnerable group will transition into newly created green jobs. Making use of occupational relatedness metrics, this research investigates the feasibility of green job opportunities to capture displaced youth in Mpumalanga, depending on their employment history. Results of this desktop study suggest that green jobs are relatively different to the existing experience and task competences of young people, and thus some form of reskilling programme is likely to be necessary for young people to take full advantage of any employment opportunities offered by green jobs.
