Young people are one of the largest demographics in the world — more than one billion youth roam the globe today. With their knowledge, young people are already the leaders of this generation, playing a key role within the climate negotiations and in their communities, and COP21 represents an opportunity to engage youth delegates from around the world.
To prove that young people are key players in reaching innovative and ambitious solutions to climate change, Paris's calendar of events included a day dedicated to youth.
December 3: Youth and Future Generations
On December 3, the Young and Future’s Generation Day at the UNFCCC is a non-stop celebration of youth power and participation at UN climate change conferences. The youth day will host a number of youth-focused events throughout the day, placing youth at the heart of the climate talks. Connect4Climate has contributed in creating a dynamic and engaging program.
