ACE Youth Forum 2021
Engaging and Incorporating Youth Perspectives
in ACE Negotiations and Implementation
The 2021 Action for Climate Empowerment (ACE) YouthForum (AYF) was a virtual conference held from July 10ᵗʰ to 18ᵗʰ, 2021, organized by members of YOUNGO's ACEWorking Group. The 2021 AYF was an enormous success in terms of accessibility, inclusivity, and representativeness, and we hope that it will serve as a model for future youth-in-ACE initiatives.
Building upon the foundation laid by the first ACE Youth Forum held in 2018, the second ACE Youth Forum (AYF 2021) aimed to elevate the voices of young people around the world during this critical year for progressing the work of ACE. Specifically, it provided a platform for meaningful exchanges to enhance implementation of ACE by young people, while also crafting and publishing a set of youth policy recommendations directly linked to the next ACE Decision governments must adopt by COP26.
Key Outcomes & Impacts:
-
2,000 Youth reached across 130 countries;
-
29% increase in participants understanding of ACE from the capacity-building event;
-
20+ Youth proposals & solutions to Parties for the next ACE WP.
