Climate change is perhaps the most fundamental challenge of our time. Today’s youth will inevitably be confronted with its manifestations and in coming years and decades will be at the front lines of efforts to address and mitigate the impacts. Empowering the younger generation to navigate this challenge is of paramount importance.
Recognising the power of peer-to-peer learning to spread knowledge and encourage collaboration, the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA) is implementing the Italy-IRENA Action for Climate Toolkit (I ACT) initiative in collaboration with the Italian Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation, and with the support of the SDG7 Youth Constituency as well as UNICEF.
Developed in response to the youth demand for climate change education and literacy, I ACT seeks to build the capacity of youth to deliver peer-led, non-formal training around the role of the energy transitions in addressing climate change and meeting the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG).
