| dc.description | 100 million jobs worldwide could be created in the sectors of sustainable energy and circular
economy by 2030, according to the ILO. Every job has the potential to be a green job.
However, serious investments in upskilling and reskilling are needed to reap the
employment benefits and avoid future generations lost to unemployment as well as to
tackle the triple planetary crisis.
To address this, ILO, UNICEF, and UNEP will partner with and for young people to accelerate
commitments to secure green jobs and build green skills in key countries and in high-impact
sectors. Building on existing efforts and joint lessons learned, the ambition of this initiative
is to contribute to a just transition to a low-carbon and circular economy, as well as to
deliver on some of the key objectives of the UN’s “Our Common Agenda” | en_US |
