BB4CA programme

The 25 young LAC climate experts will pose demands, discuss and exchange approaches to climate action in places of power in Germany (German and European youth, organizations, initiatives, scientific and educational institutions, companies, and finally government officials, negotiators, politicians). They will share their knowledge, their stories, their experiences, their expertise and their realities of the unfolding climate crisis. They will raise their concerns regarding the current impacts of climate change affecting front-line communities and the expected impacts on young and future generations.
