YOUNGO Climate Peace and Security Working Group

The YOUNGO Climate Peace and Security Working Group focuses on the prevention, preparation, mitigation and adaptation of climate-specific destabilization that directly affects youth populations—from food, water and energy access to supply chain security, forced migration/displacement and human security issues. Youth are disproportionately affected by climate-related security issues around the world. As a result, our work centers around three key pillars: climate-related security threats, climate initiatives as peacebuilding, and sustainability in the defense and space sectors and supply chains. We advocate for the recognition of youth representation in climate diplomacy and youth-led action across these sectors.
