The twin transition assumes that the green and digital transitions are mutually dependent. Digital skills are essential for learning about climate change, participating in solutions or finding climate-friendly alternatives. Green and digital transitions are also connected, as large amounts of data are energy-intensive.
The Adult Learning and Education for the Twin Transition (ALE4TT) project ran from September 2023 to August 2025. The project was co-funded through a grant from Movetia, the Swiss education and exchange agency. ALE4TT aimed to support ALE organisations in better communicating, advocating and developing strategies to convince third parties such as policymakers because ALE has a crucial role to play in a just transition process. It will also support them in building a wider network with diverse allies from the broader digital and green community.
The main outputs of the project were:
- An international training programme on ALE and the twin transition, co-created with participants from ALE organisations
- An advocacy toolkit bringing together case studies and methods that can support ALE providers in advocating ALE in the twin transition.
- Policy Recommendations for researchers, policy-makers and ALE professionals.
