In this chapter, the authors discuss how new technologies can help facilitate the implementation of the green industrial transformation on human terms. The green industrial transformation is coming by leaps and bounds and has come to change the working conditions for many people. A key question is whether the mining industry has a workforce that can handle the new carbon neutral technology. The present workforce is ageing, and companies have difficulties recruiting young talented people that in general are not very interested in working in the mining industry. The younger generation is much more concerned with environmental impacts and sustainability. The mining industry is viewed, in their eyes, as being part of the problem. The challenge that remains is to show in which ways the industry could be part of the solution, based on knowledge, mutual understanding, and trust.
