About this Event
From Gold to Green: Skills for a Just Transition in the Amazon region
Join us at the International Press Centre - Residence Palace for an event focused on transitioning towards a more sustainable future in the Amazon region. Organised by Alphabet Formation (ABF) in collaboration with the GreenShift 1.0 consortium, this high-level conference will explore how vocational education and training (VET) can support a just transition in Peru and Bolivia, helping communities move from unsustainable gold mining to green skills, responsible supply chains, and sustainable livelihoods.
Learn how you can be part of this crucial change and contribute to a greener, healthier Amazon. Don’t miss this opportunity to engage with European and Latin American stakeholders, including policy-makers, educators, civil society, and business actors, in shaping the skills needed for global environmental justice!
