Are Singaporean workers prepared for the green economy? • With commentary from Acre's Ian Povey-Hall

Povey-Hall highlights that creating a divide between green and digital skills is unhelpful; rather it is the intersections between sustainability and technology that are imperative to the transition to a green economy, and it is these intersections that Singaporean companies should encourage.
