What is the role of youth as catalysts for climate action and peacebuilding efforts? The world faces unprecedented challenges, including climate change and conflicts in fragile regions. To address these issues effectively, we must recognize the potential of young people as catalysts for change. CoP28 is uniquely dedicating a day to peace in its thematic program, emphasizing the crucial intersection of climate change, peace, and conflict. Join @YOUNGO's upcoming webinar to learn about the pivotal role of youth in climate action and peacebuilding, the best practices for effective youth leadership, and strategies for engaging youth at this nexus of climate and peace. Register here Background: On 3 December, CoP28 will feature Peace as a thematic convening day for the first time in the annual climate change conference's history.  How does Peace connect to climate change policy? What is the impact of climate change on communities already affected by tensions or violent conflict? What adaptation, mitigation, or other natural resource management actions are possible to support the development of resilient individuals, households, and communities? And what can negotiators at CoP28, or decision-makers around the world, do to address these challenges? This year, join The Peace Piece: Primers for Peace at CoP28, a biweekly webinar series designed to answer these questions and explore other topics related to peace, conflict, and climate change.
