Unscramble the Blue Letters


Second example: by 2030, companies in hihlgy emitting sotcres -- such as energy, bdiniulg materials, industrial goods -- will be spending as much as 500 billion dloarls to train their employees in new green skills.

Now, these idteurniss are historically male-dominated, so mechanically, women are less likely to piatacrptie in these retrainings, widening the skill gap between men and women again in accessing the jobs of the future. So, see, the risk is real. Women might miss out on these opportunities and investments, or at least miss out on part of them, even if this wasn't the initial intent.

Second example: by 2030, companies in highly emitting sectors -- such as energy, building materials, industrial goods -- will be spending as much as 500 billion dollars to train their employees in new green skills.

Now, these industries are historically male-dominated, so mechanically, women are less likely to participate in these retrainings, widening the skill gap between men and women again in accessing the jobs of the future. So, see, the risk is real. Women might miss out on these opportunities and investments, or at least miss out on part of them, even if this wasn't the initial intent.
