#GiveYouthAChance – Climate Action Philanthropy meeting at the Bay Aquarium in San Francisco (2)
Young people are important change agents and need to be engaged in climate action as a special group of so called non-state actors. To be able to help the world to implement the Paris Agreement and to achieve the Sustainable development goals of Agenda2030, young people need concrete engagement opportunities, they need intellectual and financial resources/incentives affordable medications and they need access to information and communication technology tools which connect local action with global goals and incentives.
The multistakeholder partnership GloCha is spearheading global large scale resource mobilization for the creation of the institutional and technological infrastructure for youth empowerment for climate action with its initiative #GiveYouthAChance Call for Resource for Youth Climate Action (campaign flyer: http://bit.ly/GYACflyer) which has been launched at the United Nations Climate Change conference COP22 in Marrakech in November 2016 and elaborated further at the climate conference COP23 in Bonn in November 2017
