Skills for a Sustainable Skyline Taskforce

Central London urgently needs a larger skilled workforce to decarbonise its commercial buildings.

The Skills for a Sustainable Skyline Taskforce has been working at pace since its launch in 2022 to identify and bridge green skills gaps. This crucial work ensures that Central London has access to globally competitive and sustainable office buildings, to retain our world-leading financial and professional services sector.

The Skyline Taskforce is a three-year project led by the City of London Corporation to boost the supply of skilled workers for sustainable commercial buildings. It brings together employers, training providers and industry bodies from across the commercial built environment sector, as well as national and local government.

On 11 December 2024, the Skyline Taskforce launched its main legacy output, the Skyline Skills Hub.

The Skyline Skills Hub is a new website resource for industry to showcase green skills best practice from across Central London's commercial built environment, including the attraction, green upskilling/reskilling and retention of skilled workers.

We would also encourage you to read our Skyline Skills Recommendations Report 2023 which highlights the critical need for greater access to a skilled, diverse workforce which is trained and qualified to construct, retrofit, and manage the commercial buildings of tomorrow.
