Equipping street-level bureaucrats with green skills for sustainable public policy change <jats:title>Abstract</jats:title> <jats:p> The shift to a low-carbon economy requires developing green skills across sectors. This paper builds on a recent Perspective <jats:sup>1</jats:sup> article examining how institutional regimes shape green skill formation. Drawing on the microfoundations of management research, we propose a micro-level perspective of public sector green skill formation, thereby emphasizing the role of street-level bureaucrats serving as public servants who directly engage with citizens in implementing public policies and outline a research agenda. </jats:p> 5 1 Springer Science and Business Media LLC
