Youth Adaptation Forums 2024
Young people have the knowledge and power to protect their communities from the impacts of climate change, contribute to adaptation policies and accelerate adaptation action.
What are the Youth Adaptation Forums?
In 2024, GCA will organize Youth Adaptation Forums. The intention is to collect good practice adaptation solutions from around the world, with a special focus on Africa, and influence adaptation policies which are related to the thematic priority areas which were identified in the Regional Youth Adaptation Forums.
By diving deeper into each identified theme, the forums will mobilize young people to take and initiate adaptation action at a local level ahead of the Global Youth Adaptation Action Day 2024. The outcomes of the forums and the Global Youth Adaptation Action Day 2024 will be shared during COP29. The thematic Youth Adaptation Forums will:
Boost global interest and knowledge of young people about climate adaptation
Inspire young people to take climate adaptation action
Spotlight young people’s priorities on adaptation for policy engagement and adaptation action
