18. Education, capacity building and job creation to address climate change
Education for new generations is about equipping young people with the knowledge, skills, values, and adaptability needed to thrive in a fast-changing changing world. It combines academic learning with critical thinking, digital literacy, creativity, and social responsibility to prepare them for future challenges. Ultimately, it is about empowering learners to navigate change, embrace diversity, and contribute meaningfully to their communities and to the wider world.
How this solution relates to the action agenda
Axis: Fostering Human & Social Development
Key Objective: 18. Education, capacity building and job creation to address climate change
This shift matters because traditional education is no longer sufficient for the complexities of the 21st century. The modern world, defined by urgent issues like climate change and the need for sustainable development, demands individuals who can think critically, adapt to new technologies, and collaborate effectively. By fostering environmental literacy, critical thinking, and innovation, education equips future leaders to understand the science, adapt to change, innovate, solve real-world problems, and drive progress toward a more sustainable and equitable future. Educating today’s youth ensures tomorrow’s citizens are prepared to protect the planet and drive a more sustainable, climate-conscious future.
