It is indisputable that the environmental quality is undergoing profound deterioration. 
In 2015, 196 countries came together to plan a new trajectory for the next 15 years, as found in the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and the Paris Climate Agreement. The GE7 conference in Paris aimed to promote the acquisition of new skills among students to give them the capacity to lead the green economy revolution. 

 The GE7 believes that all agreements, including reducing greenhouse gas emissions, require close collaboration with academic institutions and the population. In an article titled "How are we preparing our children for the green economy of tomorrow? "Irina Georgieva Bokova, former Director General of the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO), argues that "creating green industries will rely on highly qualified employees with specific training - 'by 2020, the world could have just under 40 million workers with higher education relative to the demand.' Among other things, governments should invest in green skills in schools, colleges, and the workplace. This is what GE7 is working on with global leaders and experts.
