What happens when #youth are put in the center of climate change decision making and solution crafting processes? An awe-inspiring study session on "Mobilizing Youth Towards Addressing Climate and Health Injustices" manufactured by the Conseil de l'Europe and the International Youth Health Organization 🇪🇺 For a week, young #climate activists and leaders from the European Region united in Budapest under one powerful banner - youth #empowerment in the realm of climate and health decisions. 🌏🌱 The session: • put peer-learning at the forefront • allowed us to gather practical skills to co-create our own dissemination tools to highlight the links between climate change and #health • provided us with a timeline of legally and non-legally bindings agreements upon climate and health of the past three decades • allowed us to influence each other through experience sharing and argument without never arguing to expand our perspectives Many thanks to the IFMSA - International Federation of Medical Students Association and the International Youth Health Organization team leaders, Katja Čič, Mojca Čeh, Ajda Stepišnik for crafting this event and to the bright young minds for participating in this enriching thought experiment📚💪 If this is what the next round of climate change leaders looks, thinks and acts like, hope is alive and well 🌱🌍

Excited to represent Mifali at the Bonn Climate Change Conference happening in Bonn, Germany! I had the honor of representing YOUNGO at the 11th meeting of the Facilitative Working Group (FWG 11) from 29 May 2024 to 1 June 2024. One of the key points discussed was the integration of indigenous and traditional knowledge systems in climate adaptation strategies. I look forward to outcomes that prioritize youth involvement, including in the development of National Adaptation Plans (NAPs). Emphasizing reparations for loss and damage is crucial, and I believe technology can be a driving force in these efforts. I plan to leverage my expertise in tech to enhance climate education, facilitate real-time data sharing, and support youth-led climate initiatives. #ClimateAction #NAPs #DoubleAdaptationFinance

During my time in office, I have focused on strengthening the EESC, solidifying its unique role as a bridge between citizens, #EUCivilSociety & 🇪🇺 institutions. After one year, I am pleased to report that we have fulfilled many commitments, while others are underway. In the past months, the EESC’s voice resonated not only within the EU, but also on the international stage at the International Labour Organisation, the United Nations High Level Political Forum and Climate Change Conferences, and, for the first time, at the UN Commission on the Status of Women.
