What can young people do to tackle climate change?

From learning about the science of climate change and how to address it through to building the necessary climate advocacy skills to become leaders in climate discussions and policy, today’s youth have a big role to play.

Our focus on Education and Youth

Young people are not only disproportionally impacted by climate change, they are also valuable contributors to climate action and must be given the necessary tools and support to champion the climate action agenda.

Dr Susie Ho

Young voices wield immense power in advocating for climate justice and spearheading a fair shift towards a low-carbon economy. To achieve this, empowering them as custodians of the future is pivotal. Article 12 of the Paris Agreement acknowledges that education, training, and inclusive engagement are fundamental in driving climate action. Equipping our youth and the public with knowledge, skills, and literacy is imperative for fostering equitable and systemic transformation across all sectors."
