Ministry of Forestry Prepares Young Talents for Carbon Economy and Forest Conservation

New Opportunities in the Green Economy

According to Luckmi, the development of the green economy opens up more opportunities for the younger generation. They can develop capabilities in the fields of forest restoration, carbon measurement and monitoring, environmental technology and data, nature-based innovation, research, and green entrepreneurship.

Young people can also be involved in developing various solutions that link the interests of forest conservation with the needs of a low-carbon economy.

Therefore, the challenge faced is not only introducing the carbon issue to the younger generation. They also need to be equipped with knowledge, skills, networks and access to appropriate ecosystems.

In this forum, Pusgenri involved 10 Generations of Forest Conservationists or Genries who came from various backgrounds, ranging from environmental communities, foundations, universities, to schools.

Their involvement is part of the learning process as well as opening up access to building networks with various parties working in the sustainability ecosystem.

Through direct meetings with governments, corporations, investors, financial institutions, academics and practitioners, it is hoped that the younger generation will be able to understand the competencies needed, opportunities that are developing and forms of contribution that can be started now.
