Event Details
Climate change has increased the level of uncertainty about our future. As its impacts intensify over time, one thing has become certain: We are clearly the last generation that can change the course of climate change, and we are also the first generation with its consequences.
Climate change impacts everyone. Young people are not only victims of climate change. They are also valuable contributors to climate action. They are agents of change, entrepreneurs and innovators. Whether through education, science or technology, young people have the potential to scale up their efforts and use their skills to accelerate climate action.
Yi Climate Action Summit 2022 under the larger umbrella of Yi Climate Action Week 2022 seeks to bring together leaders, change makers, youth, and all stakeholders to accelerate efforts for collective thought and climate action. This platform shall enable knowledge exchange about the impacts of climate change, promote understanding of individual responsibility, and foster skill development among the youth to tackle climate change.
This summit will build value for the membership of Yi, including Yi YUVA student members, young people and children - including both rural and urban, and the wider community in collaborating to build awareness, action and thought leadership for climate change.
