The G20, a global forum of leading economies, has long been at the forefront of addressing climate change. Recognizing the pivotal role that young people play, the G20 is now actively empowering youth to drive innovation and advocate for sustainable practices that shape future policies.
Environmental awareness is surging among the younger generation, positioning them as key players in global climate governance and the pursuit of carbon neutrality. By leveraging new technologies and information, young individuals are offering valuable insights and solutions to combat the pressing challenges of climate change.
In a special episode of The Hype, we engage with inspiring voices driving this movement. Joining us are the co-initiator of the Tsinghua Student Association on Net-zero Future, a Y20 youth delegate from Australia, and a PhD student from Tsinghua University's School of Environment in Brazil. Together, they discuss the imperative for young people to take decisive action in a world where extreme weather has become the \"new normal.\"
These young leaders emphasize that proactive engagement and innovative approaches are essential for building a sustainable future. Their dedication and passion highlight the transformative impact that empowered youth can have in the fight against climate change.
