Empowering Youth for Sustainable Futures: Intergenerational Responsibility and Skills for a Just Transition
With young people at the heart of the discussion, this event brings partners together to explore what changes are needed in education and across society to build the green skills and green jobs to deliver a just and sustainable transition.
Co-organised with UNEP, CYMG and the Government of Cyprus, Portugal, in collaboration with ILO and UNICEF, this side-event will host an intergenerational dialogue between youth, UN leaders, Government ministers and experts in green skills and education. It will explore the intersection of green jobs, education and sustainable lifestyles, highlighting how these elements can converge to create a just and equitable future for all.
Following the opening remarks, the first round of panelists will discuss how to equip future generations with the new skill sets for green jobs and a sustainable future through enhanced collaborative action.
