Building Adolescents' Resilience to Climate Change

By WHO

Climate change poses significant challenges to the well-being of 1.2 billion adolescents and youth globally. Under the umbrella of the Call to Action for Adolescents, this COP26 side event, coordinated by PMNCH in collaboration with International Federation of Medical Students Association (IFMSA), YOUNGO and Tremendas Collaborative Platform, brings together global leaders, youth activists and health professionals to draw attention to the importance of prioritizing adolescents’ well-being in climate adaptation by incorporating an adolescent well-being lens to the COP26 Health Programme.
