About the Webinar
This webinar will delve into the crucial role of youth in shaping and participating in global climate governance frameworks, examining how international legal instruments and institutions have evolved to respond to the climate crisis through youth led initiatives and advocacy.
From UNFCCC mechanisms to climate litigation and advisory opinions, the session will provide insights into both the opportunities and the challenges faced by young climate advocates within the international legal system. It will further explore how youth engagement is redefining accountability, ambition, and equity in international climate discourse.
