Energy and Environment Track

We face unprecedented setbacks on climate and environmental ambition while we need accelerated action. Upholding the 1.5°C threshold of the Paris Agreement and committing to renewables is critical to prevent irreversible damage to our planet while ensuring long-term energy security.
We must holistically address the triple planetary crisis of climate change, biodiversity loss, and pollution. Our economies must become circular and youth-driven to meet the biggest crises of our generation.
