Unemployment is a roadblock to the prospects of some 192 million young people across the world. In India the World Bank estimates that some eight million new jobs need to be created every year to maintain the employment rate.

The International Labor Organization (ILO) has shown how 24 million jobs could be created from clean energy and a circular economy. Supporting the creation of green jobs for young people is the best investment we can make in the planet right now.
