Power Up the Future: a Legislators – Youth Dialogue

CONCEPT

Building on the momentum of the IRENA Legislators Forum and the IRENA Youth Forum, this Dialogue is a chance to ignite the energy transition with the power of intergenerational commitment. Be part as Members of Parliament and young leaders join forces in:

  • Unleashing the Potential: We’ll delve into the outcomes of both Forums, exploring lessons learned and how youth can be engaged in renewable energy policy-making.
  • Having a Unique Conversation: This is a closed-setting opportunity to ask questions and discuss ideas that can help generate a shared commitment to furthering the energy transition.
  • Holding Accountable: The ideas shared in this session will contribute to the Youth Declaration on tripling the RE target and will be reflected in the Legislators Forum outcome document.
