AIM & SHORT DESCRIPTION
Project “Youth Shaping Climate Policy” aims to support young people’s needs to join democratic processes and increase their involvement in the development of inclusive and sustainable societies, which goes directly with the scope of the call to engage citizens and communities in discussions and actions related to our climate and environment.
The GOAL of the project is to create a space and encourage young citizens to start the discussion with policymakers and be involved in climate policy design.
OBJECTIVES
