Organizer: IRENA Youth Talk
Description: Following the first IRENA Youth Forum held on 10 January 2020 at the margins of the Agency’s tenth Assembly, the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA) is launching IRENA Youth Talk — a series of webinars aimed at strengthening the Agency’s engagement with the youth, amplifying their voice and actions in supporting renewables, achieving climate stability, and advancing the sustainable development agenda.
Through this webinar series, young people from around the world will have the opportunity to exchange ideas amongst themselves and other stakeholders.
The first IRENA Youth Talk, organised in collaboration with the SDG 7 Youth Constituency of the UN Major Group for Children and Youth, is structured under the theme ‘Impact of COVID-19 on the renewable energy sector: a youth perspective’.
Youth representatives will discuss the impact and consequences of the current COVID-19 pandemic on the renewable energy sector with IRENA’s Director-General Francesco La Camera. Young people will also present successful examples of their contribution to the deployment of renewable energy in their communities.
