Climate change is disproportionately affecting the lives and livelihoods of today’s youth. Equipping young people with entrepreneurial and adaptation skills is crucial for fostering youth-led solutions. By empowering them with these capabilities, young people can overcome barriers to employment, strengthen local economies, and better protect their communities. Investing in youth-driven adaptation efforts is not only the right thing to do—it is also a wise and strategic choice for a more sustainable future.
