In co-creating a climate-resilient society, it is essential to strengthen intergenerational cooperation through a fair and equitable evaluation of the needs of all generations. The younger generations need special attention, as they will undoubtedly be the ones most affected by climate change. At the same time, young people will play a key role in the processes of transition to a low-carbon society, and thus also in the introduction of systemic technological and social changes and innovations. Therefore, young people want to take an active part in the process of climate policy design, they are the initiators and supporters of action and innovation. The article is focused on the empowerment of young people and on the opportunities that emerge for them in the era of climate change, especially in the field of education and employment. Performed analyses has revealed that many climate services are already gaining ground on the market, providing climate information and data, thus supporting individuals and organizations from various fields in making decisions and adaptation measures.

Pri soustvarjanju družbe, ki je odporna na podnebne spremembe, je bistveno okrepiti medgeneracijsko sodelovanje, in sicer preko pravičnega ter enakovrednega vrednotenja potreb vseh generacij. Mlade generacije pri tem zahtevajo posebno pozornost, saj jih bodo podnebne spremembe nedvomno najbolj prizadele. Hkrati bodo prav mladi imeli ključno vlogo v procesih prehoda v nizkoogljično družbo, s tem tudi uvajanja sistemskih tehnoloških in družbenih sprememb ter inovacij. Zato si mladi želijo aktivnega sodelovanja v procesu oblikovanja podnebnih politik, so pobudniki in podporniki ukrepanja in inovacij. Prispevek se osredotoča na opolnomočenje mladih in na priložnosti, ki se zanje pojavljajo v obdobju podnebnih sprememb, predvsem na področju izobraževanja in zaposlitve. Z analizo stanja ugotavljamo, da se na trgu že uveljavljajo številne podnebne storitve, ki zagotavljajo podnebne informacije in podatke, s tem pa so v podporo posameznikom in organizacijam iz različnih področij pri sprejemanju odločitev in ukrepov za prilagajanje. Na osnovi tega znanja in orodij se predvidevajo tudi nova zelena delovna mesta in okolju prijazne storitve. Trg podnebnih storitev se bo v prihodnje še okrepil, vključno z vse številnejšimi priložnostmi za izobraževanje in zaposlovanje mladih.
