Background
Building Capacities for Youth to Fully Seize the Green Opportunities of the Energy Transition: 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, organizations, the private sector, and others, to build constructive feedback and support a stable and solutions-oriented dialogue.

Conference Objective
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 maximize the transition’s positive impacts. The nexus of green skills and innovation-digitalization offers youth huge employment opportunities in line with the global climate goals. Investing in new green industries, renewable energies, green mobility, and climate-friendly solutions that create jobs and socioeconomic value needs to be twinned with the development of capacities and skills that 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.
