At COP 24, we will promote Youth Voices – Policy Choices. For more than 6 months, we have been working with youth from Central and Eastern Europe through different dialogue sessions dedicated to water and climate, advocacy and participation in the decision-making processes. These youth have developed key messages that will presented at COP24. We are implementing Youth Voices – Policy Choices in collaboration with the Global Water Partnership Central and Eastern Europe (GWP CEE) and the Youth Water Community Central and Eastern Europe (YWC CEE), thanks to the financial support of ERASMUS+. |
