A healthy and sustainable environment is the foundation of an equitable, functioning society and the basis for prosperity, well-being, security, and stability of human and animal life. We must implement global, national and subnational policies on the conservation, restoration, and sustainable management of ecosystems, landscapes, and seascapes, including building cities with nature, through locally adapted, resource-efficient, and just systemic interventions. These must be based on the precautionary principle and follow a global mitigation hierarchy for nature conservation.

In this context we are urging governments to fully utilise the opportunity presented by the UN Decade on Ecosystem Restoration (2021-2030) to prevent, halt and reverse the degradation of our ecosystems and the Post-2020 Global Biodiversity Framework in order to build a clear pathway to achieve a world in harmony with nature.

share your thoughts on this list of demands for international action!

Build a holistic support structure for career development focused on sustainable professions. Green jobs often overlap across profiles and sectors; thus, they require interdisciplinary knowledge and skills. Our standard approach to formal education and training do not prepare young people to fully take on green careers.

Support socially responsible businesses that develop products and services in support of the green economy, in order to encourage youth-led innovation and research and help green approaches maintain competitiveness on the international market.

Value and promote green jobs, including those in traditional sectors such as agriculture that are often perceived as ‘underskilled’.

The ILO has supported several sectoral green jobs mapping studies on agriculture, energy and climate change adaptation in the context of three local regions of Senegal. In addition, a project on migration and environmental sustainability in the Sahel was implemented to address environmental degradation as one of the sources of migration in West Africa. The project focused on creating economic opportunities through green jobs, as vectors of local development, to better guide policies to promote employment and productive investment migrants. In 2012, more than 2,000 young people have participated in social and occupational orientation workshops. Hundreds of migrants and their families have had access to training on investment opportunities, managing family finances, and promoting good use of remittances.

At the national level, Senegal's new national development strategies known as "Plan Senegal Emergent" (PSE) has identified the creation of green jobs as one of its priorities. In support to the implementation of the PSE, the ILO is partnering with Senegal in three areas: 1) analytical support which includes a green job assessment to identify and measure current and future opportunities for employment creation; 2) support to the implementation of a multi-year national programme on green jobs (jointly with UNDP) and the formation of a national strategy on green jobs; 3) institutional capacity development of leading research and policy institutions engaged in green economy and green job promotion. These activities take place under the framework of the Partnership for Action on Green Economy (PAGE) - a joint initiative on green economy by UNEP, ILO, UNIDO, UNITAR and UNDP.

The Decent Jobs for Egypt's Young People (DJEP) project funded by the Department of Foreign Affairs, Trade and Development Canada (DFATD), has facilitated more than 3,000 employment opportunities for youth, with a particular emphasis on green jobs creation at both the national and local level in three governorates of Minya, Port Said and the Red Sea. Interventions have helped to create awareness and dialogue on the potential benefits of green jobs across several sectors in Egypt.

Raising national awareness on green jobs

A workshop, organized in cooperation with GTZ, addressed different stakeholders on "Skills for Green Jobs in Egypt: The Case of Composting and Renewable Energy" in November 2012, initiating a national process for the development of a vision, strategy and action plan for composting and renewable energy, especially, skills policies and programmes to support sector growth. That same year, the study "Skills for Green Jobs, Egypt" was published. which identifies the key environmental challenges facing Egypt and the necessary skills policy responses required to benefit from the employment opportunities arising from a green economy transition.

Waste recycling and renewable energy

In order to build capacity on waste recycling, the "Start Your Waste Recycling Business" (SYWRB) training toolkit was translated to Arabic, adapted to the Egyptian context and rolled-out, along with an operational training manual.

In addition, the project has supported local waste recycling initiatives in the governorate of Port Said. On 29 March 2015, the project conducted a 5-day training on SYWRB for 25 participants from 17 newly established solid waste management companies and some civil society organizations. Moreover, a consultative meeting conducted in December 2012 in Port Said governorate served to set a strategy and action plan for a solid waste system management in Port Fouad City. Further, two one-day workshops were conducted on 23rd and 24th April 2013, for Port Said University students to raise their environmental awareness about solid waste management and prepare a group of volunteers to help raise environmental awareness.

The project has also created green jobs opportunities for youth in Port Said by establishing two biogas units, which have been fully operational since December 2014 and contribute to clean renewable energy.

Agriculture

The DJEP project has spearheaded several interventions that support sustainable agricultural development for Egypt's young people. Amongst others, the project has implemented innovative ways to improve agriculture practices, one of which is the solar drying of agriculture products. The R&D Tech Company in Minya was assigned, from 1 August 2013 till 1 February 2014, for the project "Improvement of Post-Harvest processing" through solar drying. The project relies heavily on the solar power use, and it is originally the graduation project of eight students from the faculty of Engineering from Minya University. It created the first solar drying post-harvesting unit in Fayoum and it is now being replicated in other governorates.

Green Tourism

The DJEP project organized a national conference in cooperation with the Egyptian Ministry of Tourism aimed at creating green jobs in tourism in Egypt's Red Sea governorate. The conference entitled "Create Green Jobs through Green Tourism - The Green Start Hotel Certification Programme for Hotels in the Red Sea" was held in the popular Egyptian holiday destination Hurghada on June 16 2015 and brought together several national stakeholders and high-level executives, managers and engineers from hotels and resorts across the Red Sear area.

The outcomes of the conference included plans for further collaboration between the DJEP project and the Ministry of Tourism to integrate the Green Star Hotel Certification Programme into the ILO's "Improving Competitiveness in the Tourism Sector through Decent Work" training toolkit and to create jobs by building the capacity of trainers and auditors.
