Green Revolution

Globally, the shift to a greener economy that could generate 15 to 60 million additional jobs over the next two decades and lift tens of millions of workers out of poverty, also offers opportunities for young people.

Green economy jobs contribute to reducing energy, raw materials and water consumption, reducing greenhouse gas emissions, minimizing or completely avoiding all forms of waste and pollution, and protecting and restoring ecosystems and biodiversity. They can be practiced either in the 3 sectors called “eco-activities”, or in peripheral activities, or even in other sectors.

Green or sustainable entrepreneurship is a great opportunity for young entrepreneurs to make a difference and build a future that suits them. It is an opportunity to contribute to “changing” the progress of the economic world, by offering innovative products or services that help people adopt a more ecological and sustainable lifestyle.

A new economic momentum is essential to meet the global environmental challenges. By investing in a youth-led green or circular economy, young entrepreneurs often achieve the double ambition of having social and environmental impact.

The purpose of green entrepreneurship is to support local development and create sustainable jobs. It promotes local products and job creation at the local level by promoting regional skills and know-how.
