Project 04
(YOU)th at the Heart of NDC 3.0
Identifying young people’s roles in Bangladesh’s NDC 3.0
(YOU)th at the Heart of NDC 3.0 was implemented with support from ICCCAD and the Embassy of Sweden.
The project aimed to identify meaningful roles for young people in Bangladesh’s NDC 3.0. Instead of treating youth engagement as symbolic participation, the project explored how young people can contribute to climate policy through research, advocacy, implementation, monitoring, communication, entrepreneurship, education, and community action.
What We Did
Youth for NDCs organized:
- 5 workshops with young people
- 5 townhalls to discuss youth roles in NDC 3.0
- A publication titled “(YOU)th at the Heart of NDC 3.0”
Key Focus Areas
- Youth roles in NDC 3.0
- Youth participation in climate policy
- Climate education and awareness
- Youth-led implementation
- Green skills and jobs
- Youth-led research and innovation
- Monitoring, reporting, and accountability
Young people are often invited to climate spaces, but not always given a clear role in shaping or implementing policy. This project helped define practical and meaningful ways young people can contribute to Bangladesh’s NDC 3.0.
Together with the NDC 3.0 Dialogue Series and Community Consultations on People’s NDCs, this project contributed to 19 policy recommendations being reflected in Bangladesh’s NDC 3.0.
