How is youth engagement prioritized within C40's initiatives?

Youth engagement is prioritized within C40's initiatives by actively involving young people in climate dialogues and actions. This approach acknowledges that the youth are not only key stakeholders in climate issues but also essential agents of change who can contribute fresh ideas and perspectives. By incorporating youth voices into decision-making processes, C40 fosters a sense of ownership and responsibility among younger generations towards climate action. Engaging youth in initiatives allows them to not only learn about climate challenges but also actively participate in developing and implementing solutions, thereby enhancing the movement for sustainable urban development and climate resilience. This inclusive strategy empowers young people and ensures that their interests and needs are considered in climate-related policies and practices.
