The learning dimension of youth climate action: a cross-regional examination

This event will explore the learning dimension of climate action to help meet the needs of young people’s efforts to address the climate crisis. The discussion will engage with the public based on findings of two recent reports on youth and climate change focused on European and Arab States.
Through this cross-regional examination, this interactive discussion will shed light on shared and varying opportunities and challenges amongst youth for climate action. According to the ‘European Youth and Climate Change: A Community Baseline’ (People&Planet, 2022), three in four young European citizens believe that protecting the environment is critical, but they do not necessarily access sufficient resources to address the climate crisis. Meanwhile, the ‘Regional Report on Knowledge for Youth-led Climate Action in the Arab Region’ (UNESCO, 2022) — which examines the intersection between youth climate action and knowledge — draws attention to youth climate actors.
