The session, taking place on June 20, 2025, from 12:30 to 16:30, is part of the overall ACE Focal Points Academy and is open to children and youth who wish to interact with national ACE focal points.
The objective of this session is to highlight opportunities and best practices for national ACE focal points to engage with Indigenous Peoples, especially Indigenous children and youth, effectively in the implementation of ACE. According to the Glasgow Work Programme (GWP) on ACE, “Parties are further encouraged to build the capacity of youth to embark on and lead ACE implementation and promote youth participation in relevant climate processes at the national and international level, including by including
youth in national delegations at UNFCCC meetings” (Decisions 18/CP.26, para. 14). In addition, the Action Plan of the GWP on ACE flags the need to “allow youth to participate in networking sessions and capacity-building workshops for national ACE focal points”, thereby opening up this session to Indigenous children and youth with the aim of promoting dialogue and building skills. Moreover, the session responds to activity 5.1 in the Baku Workplan of the LCIPP: “Conduct targeted outreach to and engage with national focal points, including but not limited to national focal points to the UNFCCC, loss and damage contact points, adaptation contact points, national gender and climate change focal points and national Action for Climate Empowerment focal points.”
