On 9th April, 2019 a group of young people attending the ECOSOC Youth Forum in New York met up for a workshop at the EU mission to brainstorm on ideas of how they and other youth across the world can increase ambition towards climate action in the lead up to the UN Secretary General’s Climate Action Summit that will take place later this year at the United Nations in September. There were a lot of interesting proposals tabled and a working group was formed to create a road map and deliver on activities and meaningful actions throughout the year.
Special thanks goes to Ms. Rebecca Freitag for the invitation to join this session. You can follow her and her colleague Felix Kaminsky the official EU youth delegated for sustainable development on the official website here
