The young demand action to protect their future

The young demand action to protect their future
Share on FacebookShare on Twitter

Young climate leaders came together at COP26 in Glasgow with negotiators, officials and ministers from across the world, making their voices heard and demanding action needed to prevent catastrophic climate change in our lifetimes.

Events across COP26 focused on harnessing the expertise of young people and putting their views directly to the negotiators and officials working to agree on global action on climate change.

YOUNGO co-chaired the session, the Official Children’s and Youth constituency of the UNFCCC which opened with a session called Unifying for Change: Global Youth voice at COP26.

YOUNGO also presented the COY16 Global Youth Position statement, representing the views of over 40,000 young climate leaders from across the world. The statement presented their priorities directly to Ministers, including action on climate finance, mobility and transportation, through to wildlife protection conservation.

COP26 President Alok Sharma said: “Wherever I have been in the world, I have been struck by the passion and the commitment of young people to climate action. The voices of young people must be heard and reflected in these negotiations here at COP26. The actions and scrutiny of young people are key to us keeping 1.5C alive and creating a net-zero future.

I am also aware of the fear and anxiety many of them feel about the planet’s future, including my own children. That is why we must act on the COY16 Global Youth Position Statement from COY16 and the manifesto from the Milan Youth4Climate Summit.”

YOUNGO Global Focal Points, Heeta Lakhani and Marie-Claire Graf said: “YOUNGO has been working closely with the UK Presidency and the UNFCCC Secretariat to co-design Youth and Public Empowerment Day. We successfully profiled global youth voices through the COY16 Global Youth Statement and brought together four generations to share best practice examples of achieving climate justice collectively.”

Ending the session, Alok Sharma and Italian Minister of Ecological Transition, Roberto Cingolani joined young people and Ministers to discuss the manifesto developed by 400 young people at the Youth4Climate: Driving Ambition Summit held in Milan in September.

The UK also announced its draft Sustainability and Climate Change strategy to equip and empower young people with the skills they need to drive the future of climate action. This includes the introduction of a Primary Science Model Curriculum, to have an emphasis on nature and the recognition of species, supporting the youngest pupils to develop conservation skills.

Education Ministers worldwide also pledged to do the same with nations such as South Korea, Albania and Sierra Leone pledging to put climate change at the heart of their curriculums.

COP26 follows a huge range of youth events and conferences across the world, including the Youth4Climate Summit Milan in September and the 16th UN Conference of Youth (COY16) in Glasgow.

Education

In partnership with UNESCO, Youth4Climate and Mock COP, the UK and Italy co-ordinated new global action to equip future generations with the knowledge and skills to create a net-zero world.

As Education Ministers and young people gathered together, over 23 countries put forward impressive national climate education pledges, ranging from decarbonising the school sector to developing school resources.

The event also unveiled a new statement titled, ‘learn for our planet: act for the climate’ which committed countries to revisit progress made on their pledges in advance of COP27.

The UK also announced a new £85,000 research grant to support the Internal Displacement Monitoring Centre to produce better information on the education needs of refugee children and enable a more effective international response.

Helen Grant MP made the announcement, Special Envoy for Girls’ Education, at an event with Sierra Leone’s Minister for Education, Hon Dr David Sengeh, Education Cannot Wait and UNHCR.

Public empowerment

Civil society, business leaders and ministers also joined together in a special session to discuss how all parts of society must be brought on board with the action needed on climate change.

This event coincided with negotiations on Action for Climate Empowerment, a UNFCCC agenda item aimed at setting the direction on climate education and public empowerment and facilitating coordination between countries and non-state actors

The events signified how young climate leaders are an unstoppable force, equipped with bringing together young policy experts from frontline communities to put forward their pressing climate priorities. — @Green
