YOUTH AGENCY & EMPOWERMENT

Capacity Building. Capacity building is crucial to ensure meaningful youth participation. On climate action, youth capacity building must be geared towards climate governance, mitigation & adaptation, solar climate intervention, finance, and international cooperation. Training youth in developing countries in solar climate intervention research and policy will foster local expertise and will establish the foundations for more inclusive and genuine international cooperation. To ensure youth empowerment, more spaces for capacity-building must be facilitated and promoted to the public.

Networking and Knowledge Sharing. Youth must be provided more opportunities to connect, to exchange ideas and to share their knowledge and experiences regarding solar climate intervention. Knowledge sharing between youth is more effective and engaging, and will foster collective empowerment.

Education. As it stands, it is unclear if we can further mobilise successful international cooperation on solar climate intervention with the current level of youth knowledge on the topic. We must empower youth with training, education, and awareness on solar climate intervention to help correct this. The youth who are participative must strive to continue learning about solar climate intervention and share our knowledge with our own local communities and neighborhoods.
