The Green Jobs for Youth Pact is a Stockholm+50 legacy initiative bringing together the combined strengths of three UN agencies, International Labour Organization (ILO), the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP), and the United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF) to tackle the green skills deficit and advance the just transition to a low carbon and circular economy.
By 2030, the pact aims to:
- Create 1 million new green jobs for youth, with a particular focus on young women;
- Accelerate the greening of 1million existing jobs;
- Support 10,000 young entrepreneurs to establish and/or grow sustainable green businesses, while contributing to the creation of green jobs for their peers
