What to Expect from Student Energy at Climate Week NYC<\/b><\/h3>\n

While we\u2019re gearing up for a week of meaningful dialogue and collaboration, here\u2019s a quick preview of what we plan to highlight in New York City. <\/span><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Celebrating Student Energy\u2019s 15-year anniversary and launch of our ambitious <\/span>2030 vision.<\/b><\/li>\n
  2. Building new partnerships with public and private sector organizations to support Student Energy\u2019s next phase of growth through 2030 and beyond.<\/span><\/li>\n
  3. Connecting with new and existing partnerships to learn and seek mentorship on priority areas for Student Energy, including scaling to meet demand for our programs.<\/span><\/li>\n
  4. Establishing and fostering regional and global relationships to support future global Student Energy on-location programming.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Clean Energy Career Pathways for Youth in the Global South<\/b><\/h3>\n

    \"\"<\/p>\n

    Student Energy\u2019s 2030 vision centres around four key pillars the organization will prioritize over the coming years. One of those pillars, which is <\/span>expanding career pathways for young people in clean energy<\/b>, will be the focus of Student Energy\u2019s conversations and objectives at Climate Week NYC, with an emphasis on the need for a just, people-centred transition.<\/span><\/p>\n

    The International Energy Agency\u2019s (IEA) Net-Zero Emissions (NZE) Scenario<\/span><\/a> predicts that by 2030, as many as <\/span>14 million jobs will be created in the energy sector<\/b> with five million lost in the fossil fuel industry as the world transitions towards a cleaner global energy system. With <\/span>more than half of the global population under the age of 30<\/b>, young people must be trained and supported now to access opportunities and accelerate growth in the renewables sectors, if these millions of green jobs are to be filled. This will support global and local sectors to avoid serious talent shortages and communities to access inclusive economic growth through the transition.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

    Despite this, Student Energy\u2019s research through the<\/span> Energy Skills Transition Project<\/span><\/a> has revealed a significant gap in young people’s understanding of career opportunities in the clean energy space, availability of entry-level positions, and access to relevant skills training. The clean energy sector moreover remains largely inaccessible to and exclusionary of youth, particularly Indigenous communities and other underrepresented groups.<\/span><\/p>\n

    \"\"<\/p>\n

    On Thursday, September 26, from 14:00 to 16:00 ET, Student Energy, alongside leaders from <\/span>New Energy Nexus<\/span><\/a> and <\/span>LinkedIn<\/span><\/a>, will be hosting a panel discussion and networking session centred around responding to this challenge and providing tangible pathways to equipping youth with the green skills, tools, and training to drive an inclusive and equitable clean energy transition, particularly in the Global South. We\u2019d love to have you there! Please feel free to register for the event via Eventbrite <\/span>here<\/b><\/a> and share the opportunity with your networks. <\/span><\/p>\n
