The Challenge
By 2050, youth populations in at least 47 countries are expected to grow by 62%—adding over 150 million young people globally. At the same time, governments and the private sector are generating millions of green and blue jobs. Yet with over 71 million young people currently unemployed, and marginalized youth—especially girls and those displaced by conflict or climate—facing the steepest barriers, the green transition risks leaving behind the very generation that needs it most.
Our Approach
We work at the intersection of youth voice, workforce development, and climate justice through three actions:
LISTEN AND RESEARCH
Center young people's own experiences and recommendations in the design of green and blue workforce programs
DESIGN PATHWAYS
Build practical learning-to-earning tools and resources for practitioners and policymakers
BUILD SKILLS
Develop courses and materials that equip young people with the breadth of green and blue skills they need to thrive
listen and research, design pathways, and build skills.

Our Approach
Centering Youth in a Just Transition (CYJT)
Putting young people—especially girls and displaced youth—at the center of just transition design, so they don't just access the green and blue economy, they help shape it.
