Unlocking the Power of Youth in Accelerating Climate Change Action
Young people are emerging as pivotal forces in the urgent drive towards climate action and transformative change. They represent a dynamic cohort of change-makers, climate advocates, activists, entrepreneurs, and above all, innovators. Leveraging their skills, passion, and unique perspectives, youth are at the forefront of advancing and implementing solutions to combat climate change, be it through technology, scientific inquiry, or educational initiatives.
