Welcome to Room 2!
Youth have led and participated in climate action at various levels - but what about the NDC enhancement process? In this room, we would like to know your perspectives specifically on how to ensure the integration of integrate youth-related needs and issues in NDC design and youth participation in the NDC enhancement process, implementation and beyond.
More ambitious NDCs are needed to achieve the long-term global goals of the Paris Agreement. The current NDCs fall far short of what is needed to curb dangerous climate change. Therefore, it is essential that as many governments as possible use 2020 as an opportunity to put forward stronger commitments to address climate change.
To discuss the role of youth in the ongoing NDCs enhancement process, we invite you to introduce yourself and to offer your perspective.
Please respond below to any of the following questions, noting the question number in your response:
- How should the NDC design address youth development needs and climate-related risks for youth to achieve climate-youth policy integration?
- What concrete support could the United Nations system and/or governments provide to ensure youth meaningful participation in the NDC enhancement process, or NDC implementation/climate action?
- Which stakeholders/partnerships, including innovative partnerships, can be key to enable youth meaningful participation in climate action? And which resources might there be able to further provide?
- Do you know any successful examples of stakeholder and/or civil society engagement in iNDC or NDC formulation and/or implementation, or national climate planning processes, that teach us about ensuring successful youth participation?
- Considering that the 2020 NDC revision process has already started in many countries – while in others it has been completed – what could be ways to include youth needs and demands into the NDC design and ensure they are engaged in the NDC implementation and climate action?

Week Four Summary
Dear all,
On behalf of the facilitation team, we would like to thank you for this exciting four-week exchange. We have walked through all your comments, great ideas, lessons learned, and case studies shared in Room 2 about ‘Joining forces: Engaging & empowering youth through the NDC’. Now it is time for us to work on the systematization of all contributions so it can inform the next steps towards the first guidance package for UNDP practitioners on Youth & NDCs.
We will be sharing the main findings from the consultation (rooms 1 and 2) at the main page of this group soon.
Stay tuned!
Best
Noe and Martin
