Climate Change and Youth Involvement
Children and young adults are actively involved in campaigning against climate change caused by older generations.
They utilize protests, strikes, and court cases to block fossil fuel expansion through the global youth climate justice movement.
Representation at Climate Talks
Despite their involvement, it is questioned whether they have a say in their governments' actions to address climate change or a voice at the annual COP climate change conferences.
Research by law scholars Florencia Paz Landeira, Alicia O'Sullivan, Aoife Daly, and Katie Reid for the Youth Climate Justice Project discusses the need for youth involvement in climate decisions.
Their research highlights the importance of giving the young a say in climate decisions, made at conferences where world leaders gather to make crucial climate decisions.
Author's summary: Youth are campaigning against climate change but lack a voice in decision-making.
