NDC Partnership’s third annual Youth Engagement Forum (YEF23): Shaping Our Future

The YEF is more than a forum — it is a catalyst for change. Insights and outcomes from the YEF are used to inform implementation of the Partnership’s Youth Engagement Plan, which seeks to better incorporate youth needs and engagement opportunities into Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC) implementation efforts. This year’s Youth Engagement Forum’s theme is Shaping Our Future with the aim is to empower young people to engage in long-term climate action by building young leaders’ capacity, promoting dialogue on youth-focused NDC planning and finance needs, and sharing best practices for youth engagement across the Partnership. YEF2023 will offer concrete examples of how to bring youth into long-term strategy decisions with a focus on financing and investment plans that take youth considerations into account.

Shaping Our Future requires action on many levels. YEF2023 will host discussions on youth leadership, enabling environment for youth engagement in climate action, innovation for long-term climate action, and more. Join YEF2023 this July! Every Thursday in July, the NDC Partnership will be highlighting Youth Wave through the third annual 2023 Youth Engagement Forum: Shaping Our Future.
