Participating as the chief guest at the International Youth Day celebrations, UNDP programme coordinator Bisathi Bharath gave a call for developing green skills to play a crucial role for environment sustainability and creating climate resilient infrastructure. He said that availability of green skills in workforce will determine the success of our sustainable efforts in greening the economy.
