The transition towards a sustainable economy is reshaping the labour market, presenting both opportunities and challenges, particularly for young people. As industries adapt to green practices, young individuals face a rapidly changing landscape that demands new skills and approaches to employment. Policies on social protection and employment play a pivotal role in ensuring that this transition is inclusive and equitable.
Within the European Union, frameworks such as the European Green Deal and the Just Transition Fund aim to support young people in accessing opportunities in emerging and sustainable sectors like the circular economy, renewable energy, and digitalisation. This webinar delves into the critical need to address these issues, focusing on how to equip young people to thrive in this evolving context while also integrating a broader perspective on policies and initiatives that shape their futures.
