"This report assesses the impact of the green and digital transitions on the European Union's construction sector in relation to employment, skills, work organisation and working conditions. It assesses the contribution of social dialogue to addressing these challenges. The report finds that, while EU and national policy requirements regarding the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions from buildings offer the potential for significant employment creation in the sector, labour and skills shortages linked to poor job quality and the underutilisation of green procurement processes could hamper the full exploitation of these opportunities. This could also risk missing key climate change mitigation targets."
