Beyond Youth Voices: Sharing Power with the Next Generation

Join us at XCHG Spaces for an enlightening discussion on the role of youth in climate action! ✨

Young voices are often heralded as the future of climate advocacy, yet they frequently encounter the obstacle of being included in discussions without authentic influence over vital decisions. This event will delve into what true youth leadership entails in our rapidly evolving climate landscape.

Key Discussion Points:

• Understanding genuine youth participation versus mere representation in climate governance.
• Examining the impact of adultism on decision-making spaces and how it can be challenged.
• Exploring the emerging models that aim to embed youth participation across institutions and communities.

Discussion Leaders:
🌿 Angela Huston Gold - CEO of The Resilience Project, focusing on youth climate leadership.
💧 Anjatiana Radoharinirina - National Coordinator at AIKA Alliance, promoting youth-led climate action in Madagascar.
🌐 Tracy Jooste - Associate Director at Governance Action Hub, enhancing governance through strategy and collaboration.

Engage with thought-provoking questions:

• What distinguishes youth participation from youth power, and how can institutions transition from one to the other?
• In what ways does adultism manifest in climate policymaking, and what strategies can dismantle it?
• What innovative models are necessary to nurture climate leaders from the Global South?
• How can young people be active players in shaping climate solutions instead of solely being viewed as advocates?

Together, let’s discuss the pathways for the next generation to not just be involved, but to wield power and influence in the fight against climate change! 🌱
