1. How are young people (under 35) affected by this issue

job opportunities

supply of food & drinking water

--> especially to monocultures

pollution -> affecting health

climate mobility

2. What can be done to reduce global inequalities in relation to the issue (SDG10)?

Education

Transfer of knowledge (eg green transitions, reserachers & universities)

Climate finance

Global North financing transitions in the Global South (eg renewable energy forms eg South Africa JETP)

--> risk of neo-colonialism down to investmentrs & carbon markets

--> just transition -> "leaving no one behind", reskilling workers of fossil energies

strengthen the political representation of Youth (adressing climate topics)

strengthen entrepreneurships to develop new ideas for solutions

3. How can we succeed in establishing strong international partnerships on this topic (SDG17)?

policy making

but also taking strongly emitting companies itself in responsibility (through campaigning etc.)

transfer of knowledge

bringing researchers & educational institutions together

How can green transitions be developed?

Dialog

eg conferences, exchange programs, voluntary workers

bringing people together & talk to each other -> in person!

multi-skalar perspective (partnerships from global to local level)

1)

Problems

gender reveals as metaphor for how we need gender equality

lack of trust in women's abilities

gender pay gap

lack of safety/women don't feel secure - their rights are not protected

more effort is required for women for the same work

discrimination in every environment

invisible work, and most of the time men get the credit for how well a family is

domestic violence

distribution of resources - intersectionality (a poor woman will get less/the least)

vicious circle of demotivation (if women get demotivated, they will be even less so with every new effort)

the fluidity of gender is not a priority in the African context, more of a binary understanding

everyone is affected, including men, but in different percentages

gender gap in representation in every corner of life

socialisation of women regarding their gender roles

gender roles in the family

bodily autonomy

child marriage

2) - 3)

Solutions:

intentionality

there's a binary understanding of gender even within the SDGs => a need to address this

it's not about others to do grand things, but each one of us in a micro environment, we need to walk the talk

holding the people around us accountable

structurally, to push national governments to incorporate gender equality in their constitutions

gender responsive policies

empowerment programmes aligning with gender responsive policies and infrastructures

a woman doesn't need to be a man to be empowered

educate men, create safe spaces for men -> mental health programmes

grass-route level: education in the families, educating children

partnerships, not sole responsibility over the non-profit and grass-route level, but governments, private sector

"Creating an enabling evironment for youth to be at the decision-making table, support and empower them" --> especially important to one of the participants Isaac

Pre-requistes and issues

Improvement of livelyhoods (e.g. if you have no money/housing/food you will not even think about politics)

Civic education (motivates young people to engage and increases understanding)

Political education

Policy reforms and having intention (real implementation of Youth policy)

Issue of trust (lack of trust in political systems)

Recommendations & ideas to tackle the issues

Consultations (politicians need to get more out of their "offices" really visit e.g. rural areas)

Voting (age of 16 as an aim)

Youth inclusion in descion-making at the global level

Youth Advisory Board (to create more opportunities, Plattform for youth engagement in political representation)

Decentralization (gived a chance for young people to start engaging at grassroot level)

To involve more young people (e.g. at school, to do more projects to involve everyone, in some school systems there is not the subject of holistic or civic education, so a lot of young people are not interested to it or also don't vote)

Having more young people at the parliament (to have more examples to follow and to give a chance to the young people and not only the old people)

Women in politics (different perspectives and gender equality)

Proportional representation of the population (age, gender etc.)

Representation of the interests of Youth in economic policy (who's economic interests are represented less - the ones of the young people)

Multistakeholder approach

Definition of Development - how do we define it? every nation needs development - the political north as much as the political south

Being intentional about learning from other cultures

working together on eye to eye level

Seeing ourselves as World citizens instead of seeing ourselves seperated by continents / nations

previous Colonizing countries are still in power

aid is mostlz tied to conditions that benefit the west / china

aid flows back to the West / China

problem of financial power disparities

Lack of knowledge and a purposeful unwillingness in the West to learn from african practices

Highlightig and centering accomplishments from political south both in history and now
