Join us in celebrating World Youth Skills Day 2024!🎉 Today we honor the importance of equipping young people with #skills for employment, decent work and entrepreneurship. Young people have a crucial role in achieving sustainability. However, 🔹A staggering 41 million young individuals are neither employed nor actively pursuing employment 🔹Only 29% feel competent in the skills they believe are needed to do jobs that tackle climate change 🔹A mere 14% have a high level of knowledge about the green economy Collaboration and partnerships are key to equipping young people with skills to thrive in the modern workforce. Our PPDP ZAMITA Project in Zambia is a key example of how we demonstrate our commitment to building solid partnerships and foster collaboration for skills development. Curious about the ZAMITA project? Find out more here 👉 https://lnkd.in/dHYkxKfV Let’s empower young people to invest in opportunities that enable them to lead the way! #WorldYouthSkillsDay | Skills Zambia 

The Digital Economy Report 2024 underscores the urgent need for environmentally sustainable and inclusive digitalization strategies. Digital technology and infrastructure depend heavily on raw materials, and the production and disposal of more and more devices, along with growing water and energy needs are taking an increasing toll on the planet. Developing countries bear the brunt of the environmental costs of digitalization while reaping fewer benefits. UN Trade and Development (UNCTAD) calls for bold action from policymakers, industry leaders and consumers. It urges a global shift towards a circular digital economy, focusing on circularity by design through durable products, responsible consumption, reuse and recycling, and sustainable business models.
