During this week’s UN ECOSOC Youth Forum, young people have been gathering at UN Headquarters in New York, to discuss the importance of energy transition for a sustainable future.

They will be the ones left to deal with the consequences, if the necessary green energy transition fails to materialize, so they’ve been arguing for the right to be fully represented during this crucial climate change debate.  

Forum delegate, Aashna Aggarwal spoke with UN News’s Shivani Kala, after taking part in a session on how to accelerate the recovery from COVID-19 and get the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) back on track.
