PhD Student at IULM University | EARTHDAY.ORG | Supporting youth in climate change communication
📣 This is an example of what we need to see more and more in the processes behind and during #negotiations! 🗣️ People committed to acting as #intermediaries to #amplify #youth voices who do not have access to negotiations but could bring innovative ideas and solutions. 🚧 There are so many #barriers that, more often than we think, prevent youth with the right expertise from participating in such events. These obstacles range from what we might consider almost “banal” and “overcome” in 2024, such as language barriers, to more “complex” issues like lack of funding and others. This is especially true for those representing countries severely afflicted by climate change and other crises, who require a seat at the negotiation tables even more. 🫱🏾🫲🏼 As always (almost my new mantra I would say), I think the key element is #collaborating and joining forces: we are not in a perfect system, so while we try to do our best to improve it, let’s use our own resources as much as we can to do better! 🙏🏻Thank you so much Camilla Melis for interviewing me and for what you are doing, it has been wonderful meeting and talking with you! A special thanks also to the amazing and supportive people who were interviewed with me and are putting so much effort into enhancing youth potential in different ways Laura Basconi, PhD, Stefano Cisternino, Elena Zurli, and Tonia Dalle! 💪🏻 Let’s keep going with initiatives like these!!
G7 Italian Presidency | Y20 EU Delegate | European Commission | Mediterranean Youth Council
🌍 As the EU Y20 Delegate negotiating for the Climate Change, Energy Transition, and Sustainable Development track, my goal is to gather the perspectives of European youth and bring them to the G20 platform in Rio de Janeiro this upcoming August. 🌱 I recently had the chance to interview insightful young professionals at the Climate Reality Conference in Rome. It was a fantastic opportunity to hear their thoughts and points of view on these crucial topics. Check out what they have to say! 🎥 👉 Be sure to stick around until the end for some entertaining bloopers! Special appreciation goes to Laura Basconi, PhD, Stefano Cisternino, Elena Zurli, Barbara Monticelli, Tonia Dalle for their contributions and inputs. #Y20 #G20 #G20Brasil #ClimateChange #Sustainability #EnergyTransition #YouthVoices #citizenengagement #SustainableDevelopment #EuropeanUnion G20 Brasil 2024 Young European Leadership (YEL) The Climate Reality Project EU Climate Pact Benelux European Climate Pact Secretariat EU Environment and Climate European Commission Generation Climate Europe (GCE) The Earth Society
