The Green Economy Needs a Youth Strategy: Building Pathways, Not Just Promises
About
The energy transition will create millions of new jobs but who gets them is still an open question. Across Africa, South Asia and Southeast Asia, young people are coming of age at the intersection of climate risk and disconnected opportunity, often locked out of the skills training, networks and capital that determine who participates in the green economy.
Join YBI’s Executive Director of Strategic Partnerships, Neelam Dave, and Rohit Nayak, Head of Partnerships (USA) at Medha at The Sidebar UNGA/Climate Week 2026, for a practical, cross-sector conversation on what it will take to connect green skills, youth entrepreneurship, employment and climate finance — and ensure young people help design the systems shaping their future, not just benefit from them.
Grounded in real experiences from the Global South, this session asks: if millions of green jobs are coming, what are we doing now to determine who gets them?
