The “Youth4Climate: Powering Action” flagship event took place in New York City in the margins of the high-level week of the 77th Session of the United Nations General Assembly.
The dynamic gathering featured 150 young people from all regions of the world. The event’s agenda was designed around both plenary and interactive sessions and discussions with young speakers, high level representatives from UNDP and Italy, and other high-level speakers from the United Nations (UN) and other entities. Key themes included youth meaningful engagement in climate action, climate justice and a deep-dive into youth-led implementation of solutions, around the four areas of the Youth4Climate manifesto, allowing for peer-to-peer exchange and a reflection on how to enhance support to youth and impact, and partnership-building and funding.
