UNICEF and the Iraqi Ministry of Youth and Sports have launched a series of innovative platforms designed to empower Iraqi youth and address the pressing challenges posed by climate change.

according to a statement issued by UNICEF, these pioneering initiatives, including the National Youth Council and the Youth United for Climate Action coalition, launched on International Youth Day, mark a significant step towards equipping young people with the skills and knowledge to actively contribute to their communities and pave the way for a sustainable future.

The initiatives align with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), reflecting a shared commitment to fostering youth engagement, driving climate action, and advancing sustainable development in Iraq.

The Youth United for Climate Action coalition, which is a new flagship initiative, represents an unprecedented union of Iraqi youth dedicated to directly addressing climate change.

The coalition is expected to champion strategies for climate adaptation and mitigation, through evidence-based research, innovative solutions and grassroots campaigns, according to the statement which also elaborated that the National Youth Council provides an inclusive platform for young Iraqis to voice their concerns, ideas, and aspirations.

The statement added that the National Life Skills Program, implemented earlier this year, continues to empower young individuals with crucial skills in employment, entrepreneurship, and environmental awareness.
