More than 150 young climate leaders from around the world and across Brazil will gather in Brasília from 12-14 October for the Youth4Climate Flagship Event 2025, held alongside Pre-COP30. Italy’s Vice Minister of Environment and Energy Security, Vannia Gava, will also attend, demonstrating Italy’s commitment to youth-driven climate action. Youth4Climate, launched at Pre-COP26 in Milan in 2021, has grown into a long-term initiative supporting youth engagement in climate action. Workshops on design thinking and storytelling for local action will also be conducted, further equipping youth to drive climate solutions in their communities. Youth4Climate is a flagship initiative co-led by the Government of Italy and UNDP, with its Secretariat at the UNDP Rome Centre for Climate Action and Energy Transition.
