This strategy, based on projects and initiatives by young eco-activists from these countries, aims to mobilize the younger generation to actively participate in climate action.

She emphasized, “We advocate for a systematic and ongoing ‘climate’ dialogue with young people, expanding their role in climate action and supporting eco-startups.”

Signing this strategy marks a significant step toward creating a more sustainable future, where the younger generation plays a key role in implementing environmental initiatives and addressing global challenges.
