Young people and future generations are the environmental stewards of the future. Many are also leaders and experts on the subject today. The Climate Champions Team, in support of the UN High-Level Champions for Climate Change, is committed to strengthening young people's agency in climate action. Elevating and empowering the voices of young people will help drive systemic change and the Climate Champions will continue to position this vital group of stakeholders at the centre of our work.
