Youth Engagement and Climate Action: Building a Healthy and Sustainable Future

Youth Engagement and Climate Action: Building a Healthy and Sustainable Future

Topic Overview

Climate action encompasses the re-enforcing and preventive measures towards raising

the earth’s temperature and curbing existing damages. In a growing population like

ours, youths make up a larger percentage and form the active sector. Their agility,

liveliness and innovation, and potential to mobilize the other community members into

taking due and effective action are well documented.

Recruiting youth engagement in climate action would help to affect the needed

approaches towards reversing, or at least reducing, the effects of climate change in our

world today. This webinar aims to bring more attention to the climate discourse in

Nigeria, and the role that youths can play in mitigating climate impact in today’s world.
