To tackle the climate emergency and ongoing inequities, we need an economic and societal transformation.

Garcia Millan is project officer at Global Schools Programs at the U.N. Sustainable Development Solutions Network and lives in South Bay. Climate change has become a global emergency. Experts from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change agree that governments need to implement immediate action to reduce greenhouse gas emissions if we want to limit global warming and deter the catastrophic effects of climate change.

One critical component of the transition to a net-zero economy is the development and acquisition of green skills — the knowledge, abilities, values and attitudes needed to live in, develop and support a sustainable and resource-efficient society. While green skills are relevant for people of all ages, equipping youth — particularly in regions highly impacted by climate change and social inequities — with these critical skills is paramount for the sustainability of the net-zero transition.
