Green employment or green washing?

Volonteurope is engaged in an Erasmus+ GreenerFuture project funded by the European Union and led by a consortium of four organisations (two of which are our members): Alianza por la Solidaridad – ActionAid (Spain), WeWorld (Italy) and ActionAid Denmark (Denmark).

In cooperation with Traza Territorio, we delighted to announce that our consortium has just published a diagnosis and mapping on green employment and social and sustainable entrepreneurship, entitled Green employment or green washing.

The report represents a gender and generation approach to an ecological and just transition of our economies. The research will be the base to help improve the capacity of organisations to train, guide and advise young people in the development of the skills needed to apply for green jobs within the framework of the solidarity economy and the transformation of economic sectors towards cleaner technologies.

The study will also be used to promote young entrepreneurship towards new sustainable models, driving a stable work integration, while ensuring the care of the environment and fighting against climate change. Download the full version of the research here and enjoy the read!
