Climate Action & Energy Transition
Climate change remains a pressing concern, with direct implications for economic stability, health, and environmental sustainability.
This pillar will explore how young people can lead climate action efforts and contribute to national policies on sustainability and green energy. With Nigeria aiming to transition towards renewable energy, discussions will focus on how young people can be integrated into the green economy through skills development and employment opportunities in the renewable energy sector.
Furthermore, this thematic area will address climate resilience, sustainable urban planning, and strategies for mitigating the effects of climate change on vulnerable communities. The importance of youth advocacy in influencing climate policies and holding leaders accountable for environmental commitments will also be central to the discussions.
