Young climate advocates are preparing to tell leaders at a UN summit next month that they are out of options: they must deliver now on ambitious climate action that pushes the world faster towards sustainability and empowers younger generations with the ‘green skills’ that will secure our future.

 International Youth Day, marked annually on 12 August, this year spotlights green skills and the major role young people will play in driving the much-needed shift towards  environmentally sustainable and climate-friendly policies. 

To hear about which skills will be crucial in creating our green future, UN News's Anton Uspensky spoke to four members of the Youth Advisory Group on Climate Change who offer their expertise to the UN Secretary-General.
