Despite being disproportionately affected, young people are largely absent from climate discussions like COP 29, feeling that their voices are undervalued and unwelcome.
Much of the youth remains unaware of the significance of COP events due to limited media coverage, perpetuating the belief that such discussions are detached from their daily lives.
The rise in climate-related health issues among the young, such as increased respiratory problems and viral diseases, further underscores the urgent need for their involvement in climate policy.
As decision-makers gather at COP conferences, the lack of representation of young voices not only risks their future health but also sidelines crucial perspectives on climate action.
