Young people are at the forefront of the climate movement, bringing innovation, energy, and a strong commitment to advancing climate justice. As the generation that will experience the greatest impacts of climate change, youth have a vital role to play in shaping policies, driving community action, and holding decision-makers accountable.
Building youth leadership is essential for creating inclusive, equitable, and effective climate solutions across South Asia. By strengthening knowledge, skills, and networks, young leaders are better equipped to engage in national, regional, and global climate processes, advocate for ambitious climate action, and amplify the voices of their communities.
CANSA works with youth organisations and partners across the region to build the capacity of young climate leaders through training, mentorship, fellowships, campaigns, and opportunities to participate in climate policy dialogues and international negotiations. By fostering collaboration, leadership, and meaningful youth participation, CANSA is helping nurture a new generation of changemakers committed to a just and sustainable future.
