Driving Adaptation & Resilience will focus on enhancing the understanding of the role that Youth can play as agents of change in accelerating adaptation and resilience. Youth involvement in climate adaptation is critical to drive large scale adaptation efforts. Considering current and future risk, as well as the rising interactions between climate change and increasing vulnerable populations, young people are eager to support and initiate adaptation actions globally in order to secure a safer future. These efforts span across different areas, including lobbying and influencing political priorities, advocacy, capacity building, mobilizing, and establishing or working in social enterprises.
