Youth employability and green skills are at the core of UNESCO-UNEVOC's activities. This is why UNESCO-UNEVOC has been collecting 'promising practices' in technical and vocational education and training (TVET) from UNEVOC Network members. These promising practices illustrate how UNEVOC Network members from around the world are using technical and vocational skills to address two major global challenges that are affecting every country in the world, and are therefore high up on the post-2015 development agenda: making youth employable and achieving sustainable development. All UNEVOC Network members were invited to showcase how TVET is being oriented to the demands of greening the economy and addressing youth unemployment at the level of their school or institution, their region or their country. The aim of this exercise was to share knowledge of established innovative practices – 'success stories' – that have proven to be effective and that promote TVET in some profound way, either within a particular TVET sub-sector or at local, regional or national level. The submissions were reviewed in terms of their impact, innovation and potential for replication using a conceptual framework specifically developed for identifying and analysing promising practices. Some of the most promising, interesting and inspiring practices on each of the two themes – green skills and youth employment – are published in this booklet.

This discussion paper compiles and reviews relevant information regarding the country submissions (Nationally Determined Contributions and National Communications) in fifty-seven selected countries. The paper summarizes key information that helps assess the ongoing and potential contribution of [technical and vocational education and training] TVET to the realization of climate change action plans.
