Youth leaders, policymakers, and development partners have called for institutional reforms to ensure meaningful youth participation in climate policy, both in Bangladesh and on the global stage.
The media roundtable, titled “Youth Participation in the National and Global Climate Policy Process,” was held under the theme “Empowering Youth Voices in Climate Governance: From Local Action to Global Influence.”
Organized by Brighters Foundation in partnership with Local Government Initiative on Climate Change (LOGIC) Bangladesh – a joint partnership between UNDP and UNCDFP supported by Government of Bangladesh, Embassy of Sweden and Denmark. The event brought together senior journalists, policymakers, and climate advocates to discuss how young people can shape the country’s climate future.
Speakers highlighted that although Bangladeshi youth have long driven community-level climate action, from awareness campaigns to adaptation projects, their presence in formal policy processes remains limited.
