Green jobs are an emerging trend of the labour markets and millions of green jobs will be creating in the upcoming decades to respond to the global need of ensuring the green transition of the economy. Green jobs are to be considered as those that have a positive benefit on the environment and climate change and it is then regarded as a wide concept. Green skills are the specific competences required by green jobs and can be both soft skills or hard skills. There is a general consensus among experts that a certain level of green skills gap exists between the needs of the market and the competences of the youth. Filing in this gap is necessary if we want the younger generations to take the maximum advantage and be ready for the green jobs era.
The event will address this particular challenge at Mediterranea level featuring success stories as well as informing on Interreg NEXT MED unique opportunities to develop green skills among the Mediterranean youth through Green Transformation and Eco-Youth cooperation projects.
