TF2 – Climate Change, Sustainable Energy & Environment
ACCELERATING YOUTH-LED TRANSFORMATIVE ACTIONS THROUGH ICT-ENABLED EDUCATION FOR SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT
ABSTRACT
We are living in a dynamic and changing world, one that requires youth and young people to be critically informed and prepared to address a range of global sustainability challenges. This policy brief calls for the establishment of a G20 Commission on Youth Education for Sustainable Development to identify the support needed to accelerate the integration of ICT-enabled education for sustainable development, and to provide guidance on the (re-) formation of national policies and strategies to increase youth voice and agency vis-à-vis sustainability at local and national levels. In doing so, the G20 will empower and support youth-led transformative actions for climate change and sustainable development in partner countries.
