The movement towards a Green New Deal Policy Platform has become the dominant idea for tackling climate change. It involves massive public investment in just decarbonisation, which will create millions of 'green jobs'. The effect will be so significant not only because greening the economy will be labour-intensive in all sectors, but also because a guarantee of green jobs will be needed to ensure that all workers are supported throughout this green transition. This movement for addressing the climate crisis presents a unique opportunity to define the type of economy that works for everyone—not just one that moves away from extractive activities and toward regenerative ones, but also one that is also centered on racial, economic, environmental and intergenerational justice. What the movement calls for is a sustainable economy—one that, in short, meets the needs of people now, and in the future. It should sustain the natural environment, while ensuring equitable access to environmental goods such as clean air and water; it should also support the people who rely on those goods, by promoting family-sustaining jobs. It should provide and encourage work that contributes to meeting these goals, and discourage work that doesn’t. As such, Green New Deal policies that would help achieve a sustainable economy should be guided by these principles, including but not limited to a green jobs guarantee. According to the United Nations Environment Programme’s (UNEP) Report “Green Jobs: Towards decent work in a sustainable, low-carbon world”, green jobs defined as work in agricultural, manufacturing, research and development (R&D), administrative, and service activities that contribute substantially to preserving or restoring environmental quality. Specifically, but not exclusively, this includes jobs that help to protect ecosystems and biodiversity; reduce energy, materials, and water consumption through highefficiency strategies; de-carbonize the economy; and minimize or altogether avoid generation of all forms of waste and pollution. Conversely, the International Labour Organization (ILO) defines green jobs as decent jobs that contribute to environmental conservation or recovery, whether in traditional sectors such as manufacturing and construction or in new, emerging green sectors such as renewable energy and energy efficiency. Therefore, green jobs help to: - improve energy and raw materials efficiency, - limit greenhouse gas emissions, - minimize waste and pollution, - protect and restore ecosystems, - and support adaptation to the effects of climate change. Thus, the main aim of the “Pathway to Green Jobs” Erasmus+ project was to equip youth workers with the essential competences and knowledge to direct youth towards green employment, highlighting precisely the common green competences and skills that organisations for young people are able to offer. Objectives of the course were: - to understand the link of climate change and the economy. Youth workers examined the ways in which the transition to a green economy will lead to the creation of various kinds of jobs - "green jobs"; - to learn exactly what these green jobs are and what they would be, and explore the ways in which a green economy might open up further job possibilities for young people; - to find out what the EU Green Deal is and how the gradual implementation of its measures will make the EU economy more green and can generate hundreds of future jobs for young people; - to recognise the World of Life/common skills and practices that might contribute to a green youth work capacity, and which can only be supplied by youth workers due to their approximation to young people; - to increase youth workers' consciousness of the need for a new identity in youth organisations - a green facilitator, needed to equip and supervise young people for future labour market demands; - to prepare to implement the knowledge gained into the praxis of their youth work via the launch of new youth projects and programmes. The Pathway to Green Jobs project promoted the vocational growth of youth workers by contributing to the improvement of the performance of youth work and by supplying youth workers with skills and methods for their qualification advancement. In fact, living and working in an eco-responsible fashion is crucial for young people, yet quite frequently they do not seem to be aware of ways to access more relevant data and instruction to enhance their "green" skills. Therefore, educating young people on green skills were not be achievable unless youth workers are first trained on the matter. Consequently, the Pathway to Green Jobs project, by its non-formal and informal learning activities, encouraged the professional development of youth workers, assisting in the capacity building of the participating youth workers and their organisation for quality youth work, clearly influencing the routine operation of the participating youth workers with young people.
