Introduction
Youth Empowerment in Climate Action Platform - YECAP
The Youth Empowerment in Climate Action Platform (YECAP) was established by UNDP in Asia and the Pacific in collaboration with UNFCCC, RCC Asia and the Pacific, UNICEF East Asia and the Pacific, UNICEF South Asia, the British Council, YOUNGO, Movers Programme, and 2030 Youth Force in response to young people across the region calling for urgent action on the climate agenda. Youth in all their diverse identities and experiences advance their climate journeys with the support from YECAP to meaningfully engage in action, advocacy, and acceleration of the movement towards a just climate future.
Viet Nam Youth4Climate
Viet Nam Youth4Climate Initiative was launched in 2020 by the Ministry of Natural Resources & Environment and UNDP Viet Nam. This initiative aims to strengthen the capacity of existing youth representatives and networks to advance climate actions at national and international forums through consistent and coordinated efforts and enhanced collaboration with the Government, UN agencies, development partners, private sector, CSOs, and social media, in future climate initiatives and policies in Viet Nam.
Climate Learning Hub
Youth4Climate Learning Hub was built by youth with support from UNDP Viet Nam. The goal of the Learning Hub is to improve young people’s capacity and knowledge about climate change through a multi-dimensional, youth-friendly knowledge exchange channel.
Youth Policy Working Group
The Youth4Climate Policy Working Group is a youth-led project established based on the Special Report on Youth for Climate Action 2021 and 2022 following discussions and recommendations of young people in the process of writing reports. This project is also a continuation of youth-led initiatives by youth networks and organizations such as YNet, VYCO, Youth4Climate TOT on Just Energy Transition, who have actively participated in the discussion for the Youth4Climate Policy Working Group in Viet Nam. As part of the Youth4Climate Initiative, UNDP Viet Nam, the Department of Climate Change (DCC-MONRE) and the Ho Chi Minh Communist Youth Union (HCYU) will support the construction and operation of this project.
YNet Viet Nam
Youth Climate Action Network (YNet Viet Nam) was established after the National Writeshop organized by the Ministry of Natural Resources & Environment and the United Nations Development Programme in Viet Nam in December 2020. The network was formed and developed to improve capacity, connecting movements and youth initiatives in the field of environment and climate with nearly 20 member organizations and more than 100 volunteers nationwide.
