Young people make up the stakeholder group most affected by climate change. Youth inclusion in the NDCs 3.0 process helps strengthen implementation and buy-in.
Engaging young people in the development, planning and implementation of their countriesโ NDCs is central to the NDC Partnershipโs commitment to inclusive, whole-of-society climate action. Ensuring meaningful youth participation requires not only political will but also targeted climate finance, enabling governments and young people to co-create and scale youth-led solutions.
Co-hosted by the NDC Partnership and UNDP, the 2025 Youth Engagement Forum (YEF2025) on Meaningful Youth Engagement in NDCs 3.0 will provide a platform for intergenerational dialogue that complements youth-focused NDC 3.0 events at SB62 and strengthens engagement between governments and youth ahead of COP30.
The NDC Working Group of YOUNGO, in collaboration with IIYFCC will share insights from youth consultations to shape the sessions and support meaningful discussions.
