Abstract

This article investigates the role of technical and vocational education and training (TVET) in addressing global climate change, an existential crisis facing humanity. The goal is to keep global temperature increase below 1.5°C in this century and in Nigeria, and aspirations for a net-zero emission target by 2060 are clear. However, the pathways to effective decarbonization are not straightforward and may differ depending on contexts and technologies, for example, renewable energy technologies (RET) and innovative capabilities. This article focuses on how greening the TVET curriculum can enhance technological innovation to achieve Nigeria’s Energy Transition Plan (ETP). The method and literature review, guided by the National Innovation System framework and Majumdar’s five dimensions of greening TVET, identify the intersections between energy transition, TVET and RETs. The findings underscore the need for a robust educational framework that integrates sustainability practices and enhances local technological capabilities that are conducive to RET development and deployment.
