The report shows that youth aren’t just stakeholders — they are strategic actors in climate processes. Their knowledge, lived experience and networks matter.
And we should ensure young professionals have access to #ClimateEducation opportunities.

Anupama Sen identified 3 key themes of the #LCAW2025 week so far:

1.⁠ ⁠The need to fast-track, not backtrack, climate action

2.⁠ ⁠#RenewableEnergy costs will be cheaper in the long term, but need investment now

3.⁠ ⁠The just transition is key - but companies are unsure what it means in practice
