This year, the UNESCO Youth Forum focuses on the social impacts of climate change and the need for an equitable climate transition.

It took place during the General Conference on 14-15 November 2023, at the UNESCO Headquarters in Paris.

The theme for this year comes at a vital juncture.

Young people have been vocal about how climate change threatens their future in recent years. 

Young people are crucial drivers of the innovation needed to accomplish an equitable climate transition.

They are highly motivated to do so.

However, they frequently lack the means and space to turn their ideas into effective activities and achieve their full potential.

This seminar will provide a platform for young policymakers to be heard by those creating policy.
