This study addresses the gap in evidence on employability of people from disadvantaged groups in the context of the greening of the economy. We focus in particular on people with low qualifications (i.e. those with at most a lower secondary qualification (level 2 or below in the International Standard Classification of Education (ISCED)). However, when looking at job opportunities for this group, we extend the scope to jobs requiring medium-level (ISCED 4) qualifications (ISCED 4), as these could be accessible for people with low qualifications with additional education, training, or work experience and help them break the cycle of poverty and disadvantage. The study also provides insights about the facilitators and barriers to green employment for other disadvantaged groups, including but not limited to women, young people and others. The study focuses on 10 ten European cities and regions across five European countries -- France, Germany, Italy, Spain and the United Kingdom.
