Sarah Johnson, Senior Technical Advisor at CARE International, writes: “Climate change is reshaping how young people learn, earn, and envision their futures”.
She writes about two programmes of education and training systems for green skills in Somalia/Somaliland and Bangladesh. In the blog, she shares the five lessons learned. Lesson number 1 is “blend technical and foundational green skills – and tailor them to context”.
“While foundational green skills are universally important, technical skills must reflect local realities. Gender, geography, education level, and market opportunity shape which skills are most relevant – and accessible.”
The programme addressed the context of young women, rural youth, and urban youth and what skills they might need to learn.
