Co-designing healthier, more sustainable urban futures for young people

3 December 2023 13:40 – 14:30 United Arab Emirates Time
Expo City, Children and Youth Pavilion, Dubai, UAE

By LSHTM, CCC Action Lab, YOUNGO

This session, and larger event series, is linked to an ongoing, and growing, initiative that looks at the intersection of climate change, urbanisation and the lives and health of children and young people. This series enables continued conversation through both the COY and COP conferences and beyond through the work of the CCC Action Lab. The cross-pavilion format provides additional value by encouraging cross-migration of COP attendees between the C&Y and Health Pavilions. This cross-migration will expose each key stakeholder group to the conversation around urban youth health from the different lenses of C&Y and Health. 

We aim to produce an actionable co-designed agenda for improving cities for young people, co-created by young people, members of the health community, policy makers, and urban planners, fulfilling our secondary aim: to facilitate dialogue between key stakeholder groups and increase awareness of the impacts of climate change on urban youth health.
