This edition’s theme came at a critical time. Young people have been clear in the past years: climate change is putting their future at risk.
The future of humanity, and especially youth, is under threat.
Alongside the ecological damage, the social impacts of climate change must be at the center of the debate if we are to achieve a just climate transition.
At this pivotal moment for our planet, the lives of future generations hang in the balance. It’s now or never. It is undeniable that those most affected by climate change will be the young people of today. Their voices, ideas and actions must inform and shape the ways in which the social impact of climate change is tackled both at the regional and global level.
Young people are key actors in driving the innovation required to achieve an equitable climate transition and are extremely motivated to do so. However, they the often lack the resources and space to transform their ideas into impactful actions and reach their full potential.
This forum gave young changemakers the opportunity to have their voices heard by those shaping policy. Throughout the Forum, they came together with likeminded young people to develop solutions to address the social impact of climate change.
