1. All around the world, young people took part in the urgent climate action needed to protect the planet, joining climate protests and bringing the voices of children and young people to COP26.
A group of young climate activists and UNICEF experts joined to create a series of guides to learn key concepts about climate change and climate governance, and help even more young people get involved in 2022. Adapted from the Young Climate Activists in Latin American and the Caribbean toolkits, the Climate Action for Youth series will provide you with the knowledge, tools, and resources to participate in global youth climate action and advocate for change.
2. With U-Report’s 10th anniversary, we celebrated 10 years of young people proving that their voices matter and need to be included in decision making.
Learn more about how U-Report is empowering and connecting young people to speak out on issues that matter to them and join this global community on Facebook Messenger or WhatsApp for positive social change.
3. Young people committed to helping break the stigma around mental health.
They championed this change in part by helping develop a series of mental health resources - from GIFs and stickers to blogs and social media cards - to spark conversations with friends and family.
