Global Youth Adaptation Summit – Youth united in accelerating climate adaptation Rotterdam

The “Youth Dialogue On Adaptation Action: Delivering on the Glasgow Climate Pact” is a hybrid youth dialogue convened by the Global Center on Adaptation (GCA) with a stated aim to bring young people’s views on adaptation to COP27 and contribute to the objectives of the Glasgow Sharm el-Sheikh Work Program.

The event is presented as a two-day program bringing together young people and global leaders, with participants joining via livestream and others taking part in an in-person gathering in Rotterdam, the Netherlands. The livestream availability is stated for English, Spanish, French, and Arabic.

Participants of the program followed keynote speeches by experts in climate action and engaged in intergenerational dialogues. The youth dialogue is described as a platform to exchange experiences in implementing adaptation solutions, and it built on seven regional Youth Adaptation Forums to identify youth recommendations.

The program’s outcomes are described as youth recommendations and proposals handed over to global leaders, with key recommendations presented at the GCA’s Africa Adaptation Summit and COP27 and other international fora. The page describes the event format and activities, but it does not state any post-event obligations or duration of support beyond the program itself.
