"Youth involvement in climate change action is not symbolic, but instrumental in driving meaningful change and fostering a collective commitment to care for the environment. The centrality of youth in this context becomes a catalyst for innovation, advocacy and a more inclusive approach to addressing the challenges posed by climate change,” said student Jahnavi Doshi, AUS lead on the COY18 steering committee and scope leader in media and communications. .
She added: "As students representing AUS, we are extremely proud of our role on the global stage and actively contribute to the development of climate change policies in line with the UNFCCC."
COY18 participants will contribute to the Global Youth Declaration, a collective statement representing the perspectives of youth from around the world, which will be presented to decision-makers at COP28.
