How can career guidance support the shift towards a sustainable future? In this episode, NLL’s Icelandic coordinator Hrannar Baldursson is joined by Fredrik Berglund (Sweden), TomasIversen (Norway) and Klaus Ernst Hansen (Denmark) to explore the role of guidance professionals in the green transition. Together, they discuss the challenges counsellors face, such as rapid labour market changes, resistance to new industries, and climate scepticism, alongside the opportunities that arise from growing green sectors, lifelong learning, and community initiatives.
