Youth-Driven Research on Climate, the Environment and Peace

Fourteen of the twenty-five most climate-vulnerable countries are already affected by conflict, underscoring the urgent need to address these converging issues. Climate change’s repercussions disproportionately affect vulnerable populations, including youth, women, and indigenous communities, exacerbating existing challenges. With 90 percent of the global youth population residing in developing or conflict-ridden countries, where climate change acts as a serious ‘risk multiplier’, the stakes are high. Despite the intertwined nature of climate and the Youth, Peace, and Security (YPS) agenda, this connection is often overlooked in international discourse. Yet, on the ground, young peacebuilders are actively engaging as climate activists, recognizing the interconnectedness of these issues. Establishing a framework that identifies the pivotal role of youth is essential to driving systemic change at the multilateral level and reshaping global governance for a more sustainable future.
