As curtains fell on COP27 in Egypt last year, it was evident that young people's voices can no longer be ignored in the quest for climate justice.

For the first time, a youth-led climate forum was scheduled to allow young people to engage and share their perspectives across the climate agenda. The youths shared the Global Youth Statement on climate change with the global leaders, representing up to 149 of nations that form part of the United Nations Climate Diplomacy.
