Youth leadership in climate policy workbook and facilitator’s guide
A recent Plan International global climate change survey found that young people are very concerned about climate change and yet are often not taught how to engage in climate policy processes. Many don’t know about the Paris Agreement or how to get involved in climate processes in their country. This prevents their voices from being heard. The Youth Leadership in Climate Policy Workbook and Facilitator’s Guide aims to address this gap and strengthen young people’s knowledge and skills so they can engage in climate policy.
The Workbook is aimed at young people aged 14 and above and can be used independently, in a larger group in a school setting or a youth group with support from the facilitator’s guide. The facilitator’s guide provides additional details on how the workbook content and activities can be delivered in group settings, and how learners can be further supported while engaging with these complex and sometimes stressful topics.
The Workbook is divided into four separate books. Each book contains one chapter that focuses on a different area of climate decision making and highlights the importance of equity, justice, and fairness in these processes.
