Young people are increasingly recognised as vital agents of change in advancing climate action. This means including them in climate-policy decision-making and implementation. However, many young people - particularly in Small Island Developing States (SIDS) and other climate-vulnerable countries - continue to face barriers such as limited access to climate finance, insufficient green skills, and exclusion from decision-making processes.

This monthly webinar series brings together young changemakers and established leaders to exchange ideas, stories and strategies about minority rights, youth mental health and peacebuilding.

Join us for a global gathering of young innovators, academics, creatives and policymakers, shaping the future of health through the arts, culture and creativity.
