Climate-Conscious Careers Campaign
Our Climate-Conscious Careers Campaign promotes the fact that we must move away from 'green' careers to an approach where every career must be 'climate-conscious' and everyone needs 'green' skills. The labour market has a huge supply gap of green skills, and the next generation of workers just aren't being taught what's needed!
Climate Emotions Campaign

Climate-Conscious Careers Campaign
Our Climate Emotions Campaign promotes the fact that young people experience far more climate-related emotions than eco-anxiety! Emotional resilience in the wake of the climate crisis is a 'green' skill and something that needs to be taught and championed! This campaign has just launched so more details will be uploaded here as soon as possible!
CLIMATE CONSCIOUS CAREERS CAMPAIGN
There’s a global shortage of workers with ‘'green’' skills!
The sustainability skills gap is growing, and ‘at the current pace, demand for workers with green skills will surpass supply’ leaving a 2% gap by 2026! (LinkedIn’s Global Green Skills Report 2023).
‘Green’ skills are essential to our adaptation to and mitigation of the climate crisis and are fundamental in changing systems, attitudes and social norms in favour of sustainability.
But these skills shouldn’t be exclusively for careers in ‘green’ sectors, ‘it’s not just energy and transportation: Nearly every aspect of the workforce will need green skills’ (Laura Hilgers LinkedIn Talent Blog)
At YCS we believe:
Every career should be climate-conscious meaning all employees should have soft transferable sustainability, social and systemic skills and awareness, that expand so significantly on ‘green skills’.
Our goals for this campaign are:
1. Support a transition from ‘green careers’ and ‘green sectors’ to an economy where all careers must be ‘Climate-Conscious’ by challenging current discourse and raising awareness.
2. Promote, and support young people in the development of, soft transferable sustainability skills that have a people and planet centred approach.
3. Promote and support interdisciplinary and intersectional climate career paths that highlight the diversity of climate-conscious careers.
4. Connect young people with climate-conscious employers, professionals and career development opportunities.
