CLIMATE HUB
About
The NGFP Climate Hub brings together young changemakers, emerging leaders and foresight practitioners—many from the Global South—working on climate action and energy transitions. Through futures thinking and strategic foresight, the Hub connects members, strengthens their capabilities and supports meaningful participation in climate and energy policy processes. Its work promotes intergenerational collaboration and seeks to ensure that young people and vulnerable and marginalised communities are represented in decision-making.
Since 2022, Hub members have convened intergenerational dialogues and participatory futures processes aimed at strengthening youth agency in climate decision-making. At UNFCCC COP27 in Sharm el-Sheikh and COP 28 in Dubai, members co-created and facilitated the Youth Climate and Energy Futures Labs at the first Children and Youth Pavilion in Sharm el Sheikh and Dubai. In September 2023, members also took part in the Africa Climate Summit and Africa Climate Week in Nairobi, including an intergenerational scenario-building exercise exploring possible futures for Africa’s energy systems.
The Climate Hub members envision that by 2030:
- Youth will be at the centre of all climate decision making.
- There will be solidarity and collaboration between younger and older generations in finding lasting solutions to climate change.
- Climate negotiations will prioritise the needs of vulnerable people and communities – the missing voices.
To achieve this, we launched the NGFP Climate Hub. Members will be engaged in various participatory group futures processes aimed at influencing climate policy and behavioural changes.
