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."
