What is the YES Renewable Energy Pilot Project trying to achieve?
The development objective of this project is to develop increased employment opportunities for youth while supporting the promotion of renewable energy technologies in rural areas. The links between protecting global public goods while providing employment opportunities to the young adults is critical in developing strategies and actions to promote sustainable development in the twenty-first century.

A working understanding of Agenda 21 is a tremendous advantage in applying for a YES Fellowship.
