12th August,2023
INTERNATIONAL YOUTHS FELICITATION
The Chairman National Youths Council of Nigeria Boki Chapter, has join the leadership of youth council in the state and the nation at large in celebrating the youth on this year’s international Youth day Celebration.
Pointing out on this year’s international Youths Day theme “Green Skills for the Youth Towards Sustainable world”
Today, the world is embarking on a green transition. The shift towards an environmentally sustainable and climate friendly world is critical not only for responding to the global climate crisis but also for achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). A successful transition towards a greener world will depend on the development of green skills in the population. Green skills are “knowledge, abilities, values and attitudes needed to live in, develop and support a sustainable and resource efficient society’’.
These include technical knowledge and skills that enable the effective use of green technologies and processes in occupational settings, as well as transversal skills that draw on a range of knowledge, values and attitudes to facilitate environmentally sustainable decisions in work and in life. Due to their interdisciplinary nature, the essence of green skills is sometimes expressed, partly if not wholly, through other associated terms such as “skills for the future” and “skills for green jobs”. While green skills are relevant for people of all ages, they have heightened importance for younger people, who can contribute to the green transition for a longer period of time.
Therefore, It is enough to listen to young people, we need to integrate them into decision making mechanisms at the local, State, national and international levels.
The Chairman also reiterate, We need to support young people with massive investments in education and skills building.
We also need to support gender equality and expand opportunities for young people to participate in civic and political life and we need to ensure that older generations have access to social protection and opportunities to give back to their communities and share the decades of life experience they have accumulated.
On this important day, let’s join hands across generations to break down barriers, and work as one to achieve a more equitable, just and inclusive world for all people.
Wishing you Happy International Youths Day Celebration
