Climate adaptation at COP27 through a youth lens
Youth and Environment Europe (YEE) and Youth4Nature (Y4N) are international youth-led organisations within the nature-climate nexus that strive to bring the voices of youth from across Europe (YEE) and across the globe (Y4N) to the forefront of environmental discussions and decision-making.
Building on this synergy and upon COP27 momentum – two weeks within the international agenda where all eyes focused on the climate negotiations – the two organisations met on the ground at Sharm el-Sheikh to share knowledge amongst youth peers globally on what adaptation is and how youth experience it, with an emphasis on amplifying diverse youth perspectives and environmental justice.
Points of the discussion
- What does climate adaptation mean for you?
- What have you heard about climate adaptation during COP27?
- What do you think are the gaps and how should we move forward?
- How would you link adaptation to climate justice?
- How can we achieve more involvement in climate negotations?
