The president of Iberdrola, Ignacio Sánchez Galán, has joined the Global Council of Leaders of the Unicef Generation Unlimited organization, as reported by the energy company in a statement. Launched by the Secretary-General of the United Nations at the 2018 General Assembly and led by Unicef, Generation Unlimited is a global public-private and youth partnership that seeks to connect millions of young people with training opportunities , empowerment, employment and social entrepreneurship.

At a meeting in New York on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly, discussions focused on how to help prepare the next generation for a green and digital future. Agenda topics included how the rise of Artificial Intelligence and the green transition are shaping the future of work. Specifically, the Global Leaders Council is co-chaired by Catherine M. Russell, Executive Director of the United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF) and Bob Moritz, President of PwC.

The council is made up of a diverse mix of business people, NGO representatives, charities and government officials. Sánchez Galán stressed that humanity is “in the midst of a green revolution” and added that renewable energy is “good for the planet.” He also said that the investment behind it offers “huge opportunities for employment and skills development”.

As part of Generation Unlimited, Iberdrola supports several projects. In Brazil, he develops the ‘one million opportunities’ (1MiO) program. In Somalia he collaborates with the Upshift innovation program, led by Unicef. Both initiatives are focused on vulnerable young people. Iberdrola also collaborates with Unicef’s global learning platform, ‘Learning Passport’.
