Obviously Sustainable (OS) is a social enterprise headquartered in Jakarta, Indonesia. Our mission is to advance a people-centred twin transition; encompassing both climate and digital transformation. Founded during the COVID-19 global pandemic, we witnessed first-hand the fragility of existing systems and the widening deficit in development financing, while simultaneously observing an unprecedented acceleration in technological innovation.
The Skills Mission Accelerator is our flagship initiative for 2026, dedicated to closing the skills gap and championing equality in a workforce landscape increasingly shaped by the twin transition.
As industries transform, millions of workers face displacement while entirely new roles emerge, which often requiring skills that do not yet exist in the current workforce. Our mission is to build a global skills ecosystem and mobilise a diverse coalition of actors: investors, policymakers, intellectuals, and civil society organisations (CSOs), through evidence-based insights to close the inequality gap in the transition economy.
The Skills Mission Accelerator comprises two pillars: the Global Skills Repository (GSR) and ReSkillU.
The GSR is an AI-powered platform that provides multistakeholder actors with job market and skills intelligence on the transition economy. The platform forms independent multistakeholder actors that drives better governance for workforce reskilling.
ReSkillU is a tailor-made reskilling platform designed to help transitioning industries upskill and reskill their workforce. ReSkillU has been recognised as a London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE) Generate product, winning second place at the LSE Generate Ideation Fellowship 2026.

InveSkills is a financial systems initiative by the Skills Mission Accelerator that bridges the gap between institutional investors and the workforce dimension of the twin transition.
92% of tracked roles require entirely new or significantly updated skills. Yet only 39% of companies satisfy even one just transition disclosure indicator (IGCC, 2024), and fewer than 20% disclose workforce data at the skills level. Only 17% report internal hiring and reskilling rates (JUST Capital, 2025). While 77% of employers plan to reskill workers by 2030 (WEF Future of Jobs, 2025), investors have almost no visibility into whether companies will reskill, lay off and rehire, outsource, or automate. The gap between stated intent and actual disclosure remains vast.
Today, investors managing trillions in assets under management are increasingly demanding that companies in transitioning industries (energy, food systems, technology) demonstrate credible just transition plans. These demands go beyond decarbonisation targets and climate action roadmaps. Investors want to understand what job roles will be transformed and, critically, what skills workers will need to navigate the transition.
Yet most companies lack the granularity to report at the skills level. They can describe their emissions pathways, but not the human capital pathways that make those transitions possible. This is where InveSkills steps in.
InveSkills is a coalition of forward-thinking investors that the Skills Mission Accelerator is building: a group of 50 institutional investors committed to pushing companies for detailed skills information across their climate and digital transformation pathways.
Coalition members will collectively advocate for standardised skills disclosure, asking portfolio companies to report on:
Which roles are declining, emerging, or transforming within their operations, and what reskilling programmes are in place to support affected workers.
Beyond job titles, what specific competencies are being developed, from smart grid integration to digital twin modeling, and how these align with the company's decarbonisation and digitalisation roadmap.
How companies ensure that the transition does not leave workers behind, including investment in reskilling, community support, and equitable access to emerging roles.
Climate action without workforce planning is incomplete. The InveSkills coalition ensures that investors don't just ask "How are you decarbonising?" but also "How are you preparing your people for what comes next?"
By integrating skills intelligence into investment decision-making, InveSkills creates a powerful feedback loop where capital flows drive not only cleaner industries, but more capable, resilient, and future-ready workforces.
The Global Skills Repository (GRS) uses a structured AI-driven pipeline to collect, classify, and analyse twin transition job roles across ASEAN. Below is a comprehensive breakdown of how we move from raw job postings to actionable skills intelligence.
Every job posting is classified into one of four transition statuses based on how the role relates to the twin transition (climate + digital):
Each posting receives a transition score from 0.0 to 1.0 measuring its relevance to the twin transition across two dimensions:
For each posting, the AI extracts and categorises skills into three layers:
Raw job sectors (31 unique labels) are mapped into 8 mutually exclusive, collectively exhaustive (MECE) categories to enable consistent cross-country comparison:
For each classified role, the system identifies reskilling pathways — suggested training and certification programmes that bridge the gap between declining and emerging skills:
