At the recently concluded LCOY Nepal event, a panel session titled "Opportunities and Challenges for the Young Generation in Climate Space" shed light on the complex reality of youth involvement in climate action—where passion and energy are met with significant barriers such as resource limitations, policy gaps, and the need for proper guidance. Shristi Adhikari, the Lead Coordinator for SHE Changes Climate Nepal shares key takeaways from the panel discussion 👇: →Resource and Knowledge Gaps: There is still a significant shortage of resources, knowledge, and effective policies to address the impact of climate change on youth, especially in remote areas of Nepal. This highlights the need for increased attention and targeted interventions in these regions. →Youth Rights and Participation: Youth have the right to demand participation in climate-related discussions and decisions. By asserting their rights, they can amplify their voices and collectively push for climate justice, ensuring their concerns are heard and addressed. →Power of Social Media: Gen Z has a powerful tool at their disposal—social media. It should be leveraged strategically to vocalise their needs and advocate for climate action, creating a broad and impactful reach. →Energy with Purpose: While there is immense energy among the youth, it needs to be channelled effectively. Proper mentoring is essential to help young people understand the importance of their actions and the underlying reasons for their engagement in climate advocacy. → Intergenerational Knowledge Transfer: The transfer of knowledge and power from one generation to the next is crucial. It ensures that the progress made today is sustained and built upon by future generations, creating a continuous and evolving movement for climate action. How can we, as a global community, better support youth with what they need to lead the fight for climate justice?
