🌍✨ We were honored to be invited to participate in the conference "Youth4Climate & Universities for the Future: Sparking Solutions for Climate Action" at Politecnico di Torino! On October 25-26, the Lingotto Campus transformed into a dynamic space for #collaboration and #dialogue among youth, #academics, and #climate #leaders. Representing SDSN Youth was the SDSN Youth Mediterranean Network Coordinator, Eleonora De Pirro, who took the stage during the first day to talk more about the work of SDSN Youth and SDSN Youth Mediterranean. 👥🌱 Young people, experts, and institutions gathered to exchange ideas and strategies for impactful climate action, focusing on the importance of education and public-private partnerships in driving sustainable solutions. 💡 Organized by Politecnico di Torino, Ministero dell'Ambiente e della Sicurezza Energetica in collaboration with UNDP, Youth4Climate, RUS, and SDSN Italy, this event created an inspiring platform to discuss real-world solutions just weeks before #Cop29 in Baku. 🌍⏳ We were privileged to hear from renowned speakers, including our President Jeffrey Sachs, who delivered a powerful speech on #youth #leadership for #climate #justice. Reflecting on the G7 outcomes and exploring universities' role in the ecological transition were just a few of the meaningful discussions shared. Connecting with passionate young leaders was truly inspiring! 🌎🤝✨ A special thank you to ATTUNE Project of the Università di Siena(Università degli Studi di Siena), DISPI, and SDSN Italy 🇮🇹 Together, we’re making a difference! 🌍💚 #YouthAction #YouthEmpowerment #SDSNMediterranean #SDSNYouthMediterranean

📣 Youth and the climate crisis - what must be done? Young people are stepping up as powerful advocates for climate action and a sustainable future! 👥 In June, SDSN Portugal brought together 22 inspiring youth leaders to lead a side event at the Paving the Way to the Pact of the Future conference alongside Professor Jeffrey Sachs. These discussions led these changemakers to deliver compelling recommendations in three key areas: Climate Action, Public Awareness, and Societal Transformation. Their bold proposals highlight the urgency of the climate crisis, address the 2030 Agenda head-on, and showcase the power of youth-led action.
