Youth are important contributors to climate action and building their knowledge is a priority in light of feeling the negative effects of the climate crisis. IYSO organization works to provide youth with knowledge and information about climate changes through a series of training courses, workshops and knowledge exchange sessions. IYSO also works to support and enable youth leaders to launch and led innovative initiatives to address and adapt to climate change in their local communities.

The knowledge building activities provided youth with opportunities to acquire more information and knowledge, they were able to identify a number of problems related to climate and environmental issues and came up with a set of recommendations that would contribute to increasing youth involvement in confronting and addressing the effects of climate.

Youth are force of the future to facing climate changes

Climate change has increased levels of uncertainty about our future. As its impacts become more severe over time, one thing is certain: we will leave the Earth to the children and youth of today and future generations.

The world has 1.8 billion young people between the ages of 10 and 24 – the largest generation of young people in history. Young people are increasingly aware of the challenges and risks posed by the climate crisis, as well as their awareness of the opportunity to achieve sustainable development through solutions to climate change.

The unprecedented mobilization of young people around the world demonstrates the enormous power they have to hold decision-makers to account, and their message is clear: the older generation has failed, and it is young people who will pay the full price – with their future.

Young people are not just victims of climate change, they are also important contributors to climate action. They are change agents, entrepreneurs and innovators. They are stepping up and using their skills to accelerate climate action. Whether through education, science or technology, young people are stepping up and using their skills to accelerate climate action.
