Young people are poised to play a pivotal role in this transformative process, and Green Skills are the compass that guides them. We can harness their energy, creativity, and passion to drive the green transition by equipping young people with knowledge, expertise, and opportunities in sustainable practices. Let us seize this moment and collectively work towards a more sustainable world where today’s youth are champions of tomorrow’s green future”.
