Youth Portal for the Latin America and the Caribbean - Rework the World: Preparations for 5th Global Youth Employment Summit

We recently met at Tällberg Forum 09. Where we began Tällberg conversations and shared how the economy is in crisis, how the planetary systems are failing and how unemployment is on a steep rise.

The world does not work. So let's get on with it.

Rework the World! Carl Mossfeldt, Tällberg Foundation & Poonam Ahluwalia, YES Inc

Rework-
Bringing efforts together to do what it takes

Rework the World is a global initiative that seeks to mobilise young people around promising sustainable ventures and help take the emerging green economy to the next level. It is a response to the confluence of the ecological and economic crises and to the increasing fragmentation in our societies. With mounting pressures - unemployment, environmental degradation and social stress - our societies risk falling apart at a time when we must be pulling together. This we cannot allow.

We encourage you to read more about the project. http://rs6.net/tn.jsp?et=1102620366928&s=5359&e=001Uwrz9aJ2qzcEKpZHiqthTfvOm7dGECslnX34wIPeK5Dk8wAf8Fwv_5Vyr8x8J0qP_pdrczX806BikV__3LjLyaweIpQ1ZFQKqBbVgf10HK__ak3hN5dkx-ulK8UgtZQVH1-EWDHg8MIdgtY0bgkbY5g0MAVRkfCwskJVyEsuaRo=

This initiative builds towards the 5th Global YES Summit in Leksand, Sweden, June 2-5, 2010. Throughout four days, 2000 youth leaders, corporate leaders, investors, and policy makers across generations and continents will come together to advance collaborative efforts and develop innovative partnerships that can take existing ventures to a much larger scale.

In the works
June 2-5, 2010, Sweden Through a methodology grounded in systems thinking and based on strategic brokering of relationships, the project seeks to significantly scale the impact of existing efforts by creating clusters of supporting actors and linking these to local youth networks. The aim is to generate large scale green employment opportunities for youth, and to realise synergies in existing efforts of business, civil society, government, and international bodies.

Concrete results are already emerging out of Rework-meetings in East Africa and in the run up to meetings in India and Latin America. Entrepreneurs in areas such as low-income housing, solar energy lighting for rural areas, sustainable charcoal and rural livelihoods are as a result of the project starting to work with youth leaders and networks, preparing plans to support green youth opportunities.
