Yes, and it is a substantial move. An ICT system integration consultant already covers 29% of what a green ICT consultant is expected to do: 8 skills carry over, 4 of which the green ICT consultant role treats as required.

10 required skills are missing, plus 9 optional ones. They fall into 6 areas of the ESCO skill hierarchy, led by engineering, manufacturing and construction. The single most important is ICT environmental policies.

Its learning distance is 66.4 out of 100, which is the substantial band. That accounts for both how much is missing and how specialised those skills are.
