YOUNGA's Mission at COP28
Where leaders of today and tomorrow meet and co-create action plans.
Young people are disproportionately affected by the climate crisis and are subject to bear the long-term costs of inaction.
UNFCCC, along with the COP28 Presidency, emphasize the need for solutions that embolden youth as partners in the global climate agenda.
