Emphasizing the importance of supporting young people as they pursue green livelihoods
Highlights
The climate crisis portends catastrophic disruption to lives and livelihoods. However, many of the measures needed to address the crisis present important opportunity for economic development and the creation of new kinds of ethical and decent livelihoods.
If young people are to participate in and benefit from these opportunities, they need the skills for the new jobs in a green economy. To prepare young people, urgent action is needed from government, development partners and the private sector.
