The Commission on Sustainable Development starts next Monday, and we have been working diligently to have an unprecedented youth presence at the meeting. SustainUS, in coordination with GYAN and the CSD Youth Caucus, has organized a youth gathering to create a cohesive youth alliance to rock the CSD!
As Matthew Carroll, CSD Youth Caucus co-coordinator, says, “the purpose of the Youth Energy Blast is to empower our generation-wide movement to confront the energy crisis. The goals of the Blast are to provide information and training for youth participants of the CSD and provide a space for youth to share best practices for implementing climate solutions and participating in decision-making at the international level.”
I am super excited. I know we need more than a youth strategy meeting to sort of the problems out, but this is a first great step to start strong youth voice at the CSD. I will be giving a briefing on how the CSD works and also on how to lobby. Plus, I hope to be able to lead a breakout session with some of the most passionate and committed youth in the world.
Lets get ready to rock n’ roll!
