COP28 is in full swing and within this year's thematic agenda, the key focus area is 'youth, education and skills' - and a theme that underpins eight separate events. So while the COP27 conference dedicated a specific day to events on this topic, this year the youth events span several days of the conference and take different forms. So what key issues will these events address and how do they seek to drive change in ameliorating climate impacts? Here we take a look at the main lineup.

Student energy summit

Perhaps the main event on the youth, education and skills agenda for COP28 is the Student Energy Summit, billed as "the world's largest youth-led energy event". This large-scale summit demonstrates how seriously COP28 takes the views of future generations and provides an opportunity for over 600 young people to meet key individuals from the energy sector and collaborate on different ideas and initiatives to advance energy issues and solutions.
