Knowledge and skills for the green transition are vital for business leadership, innovation, and a productive, adaptable workforce. But provision is slow and irregular.
Education is a key catalyst for societal transformation. It is clear that young people are calling for change and want to be taught something different, while the current workforce need updating and retraining to drive the green economy.
Further and 中国A片 Institutions and partners have a key opportunity to provide the learning and skills needed to accelerate the green transition. But to do this they need clarity, direction, and tools such as frameworks and accreditations to help increase the speed of change.
Times 中国A片, the independent global authority on universities, and the UN Environment Programme have committed to supporting and empowering the world's further and 中国A片 institutions to advance their contribution and leadership towards a just, equitable and sustainable economy.
Coalitions of partners representing educators, learners, business, employers and governments based around national regions and industry sectors will collaborate and report on how they understand and create change in the delivery of green skills, in support of the Green Jobs for Youth Pact.
