"Empowering Youth with Green Skills to Save the Planet"
On International Youth Day, young climate activists emphasize the importance of "green skills" in driving the shift towards a sustainable and climate-friendly future. These skills include technical knowledge and transversal skills that enable the effective use of green technologies and facilitate environmentally sustainable decisions. Young climate advisors highlight the need for critical thinking, quantitative reasoning, digital skills, non-violent communication, and intergenerational cooperation. They call on world leaders to take urgent action to address the climate crisis, including equitable funding for adaptation and mitigation, investment in renewable energy, and delivering ambitious climate action to prevent the gradual extinction of climate vulnerable countries.
