The decisions we make today about the future of our planet will affect young people more than anybody else. Yet, they are largely excluded from decisions on how to solve the climate crisis.

In this episode of Climate Action Explained, join us on a tour to Georgia, India and Panama to see how young people are accessing the tools and opportunities they need to make their leadership and demands known and shape the future of climate action.

Alarming news about the impacts of climate change have become a daily reality. Many people now think it is too late to do anything about it. But change is still possible. We can still win this fight.

UNDP’s Climate Action Explained video series takes viewers on a journey around the world to see how people in 12 different countries are working for a safer, greener future for all. Masterfully introduced by UNDP Goodwill Ambassador, Nikolaj Coster-Waldau, the four episodes explore how we can adapt to the impacts of climate change, restore the world’s beautiful forests, power communities with sustainable energy and enable young people to drive climate action around the world. Join us!
