As we reflect on International Youth Day 2023, it is important that we acknowledge the significance of this year’s theme: “Green Skills for Youth: Towards a Sustainable World.” The Green Skills for Youth initiative is aimed at equipping young people with the knowledge and skills necessary to create a more sustainable world and tackle the challenges of our time.
GYMHA is committed to playing a vital role in empowering young people to take action and contribute to a more sustainable world. This involves providing opportunities for young people to develop green skills and competencies such as climate literacy, restoration ecology, and renewable energy systems. Our organization is dedicated to supporting and promoting the development of sustainable projects and initiatives that can create a more resilient and equitable world for all.
One of the most pressing issues facing our planet today is climate change. It is critical that young people have the necessary skills and knowledge to address this challenge and work towards a more sustainable future.
The effectiveness of this approach has already been demonstrated through successful eco-friendly projects developed by young people. For example, the Green New Deal’s proposal would invest in green infrastructure and help young people find jobs in new, emerging fields like renewable energy and conservation.
At GYMHA, we believe that young people hold the key to creating a sustainable world. Our organization understands that empowering young people with the necessary skills and competencies to take ownership of their future, is crucial for shaping a world that is in harmony with the planet and its inhabitants. Therefore, we actively promote the development of sustainable practices that are centered around respect for the environment, social responsibility, and economic viability.
As we mark International Youth Day 2023, let us renew our commitment to supporting young people in their quest to create a sustainable world. We are confident that with the right skills, tools, and knowledge, young people have the power to transform the world and build a future that is resilient, equitable, and sustainable.
Happy International Youth Day to all our amazing youths across the globe.
