Background

The session will be a follow up of the event that took place at the 5th Capacity-Building Hub at COP28, to continue enhancing the discussion on the need to build capacities and skills for green jobs for youth so they fully seize the opportunities of the green transition. The idea is to have an open discussion with as many interventions as possible, from youth representatives, organisations, private sector and others, in order to build constructive feedback and support a stable and solutions-oriented dialogue.

Objectives

Enhancing the skills and capacities for green jobs of youth is an enabler to achieve a just energy transition and an accelerator to achieve the 1.5oC scenario. Addressing the related capacities’ gaps and needs is crucial to maximise the transition’s positive impacts. The nexus green skills innovation-digitalisation offer youth huge employment opportunities fully in line with the global climate goals. Investing in new green industries, renewable energies, green mobility, climate-friendly solutions that create jobs and socioeconomic value needs to be twinned to the development of capacities and skills that allow to ensure competitiveness and prosperity. The decarbonization of the economy and the transition to clean economic models offer unique opportunities for green job creation and social inclusion for youth.
