The environment and jobs are deeply interconnected, influencing livelihoods and productivity. About 1.2 billion young people in developing countries will reach working age in the next 10 to 15 years, while only around 400 million jobs are expected to be created. Investing in nature can protect livelihoods and create jobs, particularly in sectors like agriculture, fisheries, and tourism.
