Digital skills for jobs Wednesday, 18 September 2024 : 09:30 – 10:45 With the increasing use of digital technologies in the world of work globally, much concern has been raised about the impact of technologies on employment and skills, jobs quality and quantity.

Eco Restoration is critical for the survival of life on our planet. At the forefront is John D. Liu whose #CommonlandFoundation has fostered 55 large scale projects around the world. Siham Said, of the Habiba Community in South Sinai, Maximilian Abouleish-Boes, Sustainable Development Lead at the SEKEM community and Naglaa Ahmed, Manager of the Egyptian #Biodynamic Association describe their successes in reviving hydrological cycles and ecological function to what was once dried up land. Two thousand Egyptian farmers are doing the very real work of salvaging Nature, storing carbon, and developing a sustainable, organic agriculture. Using carbon credits, these projects continue a short distance, but a far cry, from the air conditioned and now empty halls of COP27.

The Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) are a collection of 17 goals set by the United Nations General Assembly in 2015 to be achieved by 2030. As a strong believer in the power of youth, I advocate the importance of our generation in being the driving force to achieving a more sustainable world. Ranging from Quality Education for all to Climate Change and Zero Poverty, there is a SDG for everyone, and through simple changes in lifestyle and innovation we can build a more sustainable future for generations to come. As we reach the 10 years mark, the global community is in need of all hands-on deck to achieve the 2030 agenda.
