Youth input stands essential for national climate planning - Youth Climate Champion

BAKU, Azerbaijan, October 2. It is essential to
listen to the voices of youth when preparing national climate
plans, Presidency Youth Climate Champion for COP29 Leyla Hasanova
said during an event on " National High-Level Event on Climate
Change & Children" at ADA University as part of the Baku Climate
Action Week, Trend reports.
She stated that climate change has come home to roost, as rising
temperatures and dwindling water supplies are already making waves
in Azerbaijan.
"This is starting to directly affect our health and well-being,
and regrettably, there may be more severe repercussions
forthcoming. Young and future generations, who have contributed
minimally to this issue, will bear the most burden," she said.
Hasanova highlighted that the presidency of COP29 recognizes the
importance of achieving inclusive outcomes for children and youth
not only this year but also beyond COP29.



"As governments around the world prepare the next generation of
national climate plans, it is crucial to engage youth voices. Our
perspectives, innovations, and determination play a key role in
shaping ambitious and effective climate strategies that reflect our
needs, the needs of our children, and our priorities," she
added.
