Youth tackling urbanization challenges

Urban centers face substantial challenges in the context of climate change, including increased heatwaves, flooding, and air pollution, which strain infrastructure and resources. Climate change impacts urban dwellers by exacerbating health issues, reducing quality of life, and heightening socio-economic inequalities. To address these challenges, young people must take bold steps such as advocating for green policies, participating in sustainable urban planning, and promoting community resilience initiatives. Engaging in environmental education and leveraging technology for innovative solutions are also crucial actions for mitigating climate impacts in our cities. This discussion aims to explore these dimensions and empower youth to become active agents of change in urban climate resilience.
