Global Environment Outlook For Youth, Africa

20 June 2019
GEO

UN Environment’s Sixth Global Environment Outlook (GEO-6) for Youth: Africa is substantively built on the GEO-6 Regional Assessment for Africa. Themed on green jobs, this youth publication has been produced through the collaborative effort of more than 100 youth writers, photographers, artists, and reviewers from 30 African countries. Drawn from all of Africa’s six sub-regions, these young people provide a regional mosaic of practical ideas, insights, analyses, and experiences about the potential of Africa’s natural resources to generate multi-sectoral green jobs. As is articulated in the publication, this potential can only be fully tapped into through the initiative of youth themselves, with the support of policymakers and the private sector.
