About the Youth Leadership Academy
Climate change is a social, intergenerational, gender, and racial injustice that deepens existing inequalities and rolls back progress made towards the Sustainable Development Goals. Young people, particularly girls and young women, are at the forefront of climate vulnerability and activism. While these groups are the hardest hit by climate change, their voices are not adequately represented in climate discussions, resulting in policies that do not address their specific needs.
Plan International is committed to working with girls and young people to promote climate action and justice. The Youth Leadership Academy (YLA) for Climate Action project funded by The Rockefeller Foundation, is designed as a strategic platform to support young people, particularly young women, to become leaders and influencers in gender-responsive climate change adaptation.
