Young people are playing a vital role in shaping climate adaptation solutions, with a focus on justice, inclusion, and ensuring that no one is left behind. They are designing and implementing innovative, inclusive, and equitable solutions for environmental challenges in their communities, mobilizing adaptation action at scale and demanding fair and accessible finance for adaptation. The importance of youth leadership in climate adaptation is emphasized, calling for decision-makers, funders, and communities to partner with young people and invest in youth-led adaptation. The principle of Common but Differentiated Responsibilities and Respective Capabilities (CBDR-RC) is highlighted, urging young people to claim their seat at the table and build networks of solidarity to create a resilient and equitable world.
