Youth activism is making a big impact on climate change policies all around the world. Here are some important ways this is happening:

1. Getting People Involved and Raising Awareness:

   • In 2019, millions of young people joined the Global Climate Strikes. About 4 million people took part in these events around the world.
   • A report from 2021 showed that movements led by young people have helped raise climate change awareness by 70% among everyone else.

2. Putting Pressure on Leaders:

   • Young activists collected over 1.5 million signatures for the "Fridays for Future" petition. This petition calls for governments to take action against climate change right now.
   • Because of their efforts, many countries have agreed to aim for net-zero emissions by 2050. This includes more than 130 countries signing on to this promise.

3. Creating New Ideas:

   • Young leaders are also coming up with great solutions for green energy. About 60% of young people support the idea of using 100% renewable energy sources by 2030.

These actions by youth are changing how countries think about climate policy. They highlight the need for quick and lasting change to protect our planet.
