GREESD up to Go Green- Green Skills Development
To switch to a green economy Africa needs a shift in skill set. Science, technology and innovation must be mainstreamed into every facet of live.
In 2018, an ILO Green Jobs in Ghana report notes that there is a lack of highly skilled, semi-skilled and vocational/technical skills and an excess supply of low skilled labour.
The Green Skills Development (GREESD) Strategy is an active plan to create jobs, reduce poverty and enhance climate action by providing communities with the technical skills and partnerships they need to support development of a green economy.
Our programs chart clear career progression in waste management fields to incentivize community members to choose waste careers.
Environment360’s programs actively reduce green house gas emissions by reducing open air burning and landfilling of waste, while also protecting and enriching bio-diversity in the communities we serve. These actions translate into real climate action that can be measured.
