About the European Climate Pact and the Youth Climate Action Empowerment IAAI GloCha ECP satellite event:

The European Climate Pact https://europa.eu/climate-pact/​ is a groundbreaking public sector innovation, introduced by the European Commission in order to mobilize all of society for ambitious climate action. The #EUClimatePact​ aims to create an ecosystem and engagement opportunities for citizens and other non-state actors to make individual climate action pledges and thus to contribute in an action and impact oriented manner their passion, knowledge as well as other resources to the climate neutrality goals of the European Green Deal.

With this European Climate Pact launch satellite event we will explore how the European Climate Pact can contribute to Youth Climate Action Empowerment and build bridges to youth climate action networks on global level as well as to digital innovation solution providers (especially the Climate Chain Coalition, co-founded by the UNFCCC  secretariat) with the aim to develop integrated climate action programs, apps & tools that will empower youth to engage in climate action on local, national, regional and global level.
