Youth engagement and empowerment is key to driving meaningful change in our fight against climate change, and to build a more sustainable and resilient future for generations to come. Through our initiatives, we empower young people to harness the power of digital technologies for environmental sustainability.
Through Generation Connect, ITU organised a session at the18th UN Climate Change Conference of Youth (COY18) which took place on 27 November 2023 in Dubai, UAE. The session focused on the importance of green digital solutions and the interdisciplinary and youth-inclusive action they hope to see from decision makers at COP28.
