Resumen
Descripción
With 71 million unemployed young people globally and 42 million entering the labour market every year, the agriculture and agri-food sectors must be revitalized to create more job opportunities, while also addressing the growing challenge of climate change. FAO aims to support governments in addressing the high level of youth unemployment by boosting the agri-food sectors that both adapt to and mitigate the effects of climate change. To tackle some of the basic causes of rural poverty and assist the transition to a Green Economy, this initiative aims to foster green jobs across rural economic sectors. Participating youth will be given the opportunity to develop green skills (transferrable and sector-specific) and realize green job opportunities (through formal employment and entrepreneurship), specifically in relation to enhancing local agricultural value chains.
