A report by FSD Africa and Shortlist highlights Africa’s burgeoning green economy as a beacon of hope for tackling youth unemployment. With the continent’s youth population projected to surpass 800 million by 2050, the green economy is poised to generate 3.3 million jobs by 2030.
Solar energy and climate-smart agriculture are at the forefront of this transformation, alongside opportunities in renewable energy, sustainable farming, and ecosystem-based solutions. These sectors offer the potential to reshape Africa’s workforce and build resilience against climate change.
Dr. Malle Fofana, Director for Africa at the Global Green Growth Institute, emphasized the importance of equitable access to green jobs in both urban and rural settings during an exclusive interview.
