Background

This session assembles global youth climate experts and social entrepreneurs in energy, agri-food systems, and investment banks to bring about robust investment strategies to propel renewables-driven resilient agri-food systems despite the existing obstacles encountered by both development partners and developing nations.  

The session aims to maximize the enablers’ capacity in tripling climate action through “Interstate Cooperation, Cross-sectoral Collaboration, City-State Governance and Citizen Participation”.  

CliMates is an international youth think-and-do-tank, which aims at finding innovative solutions against climate change and gathering the next generation of decision-makers. CliMates gathers more than 150 young people in over 30 countries who are highly qualified in the subject matter, and trains them to address and anticipate emerging climate change issues through participatory and innovative tools disseminated by the Mobilization Pole.
