As part of the SEforALL Youth Summit, SEforALL will host an SDG7 Youth Roundtable that will bring together young climate and energy activists to discuss the importance of the clean energy transition and energy access to the youth climate action movement.   

The outcome of these discussions will be a set of recommendations outlining key pathways to place clean energy transition at the heart of the youth climate action movement. The goal is to engage young leaders from across the world and empower them to support a just, inclusive energy transition, which will be critical in the lead up to the UN High-Level Dialogue on Energy (HLDE) and COP26 Glasgow. 

This consultation process convened by the SDG7 Youth Constituency is an opportunity for youth organisations and young energy professionals, researchers, and entrepreneurs to provide their insights and comments on the topic of the roundtable. The inputs will be then collated and presented as an intervention and as a written input to the roundtable.

The leading questions for the consultation are:

  • What are the interlinkages between the youth climate and energy movements?

  • What can be done to empower and educate young leaders to support a just, inclusive energy transition?

  • What are the most important ways for youth to get involved in HLDE and COP26?

The roundtable will take place on Thursday, February 11 at 9:40 ET / 14:40 UTC. Full information about the SEforALL Youth Summit is available here.
