Declaration on Children, Youth and Climate Action

In 2019, leaders from all around the world took part in the 25th Conference Of the Parties to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC), also known as COP25, to discuss and take action on climate change. A group of governments joined youth activists in Madrid, Spain, to sign an Intergovernmental Declaration on Children, Youth and Climate Action. They united around a strong commitment to accelerate inclusive, child and youth-friendly climate policies and action at national and global levels, including the need to enhance their participation in decision-making.
