Advancing policy and practice

COMING SOON

Funded by the British Academy Maximizing Impact Scheme, this projects aims were to take forward and advance the impacts from the Youth-Led Adaptation to climate change challenges in Vietnam project.

The main objectives of this project was to: 

• To enhance and extend opportunities for dialogue between youth and key policy-makers and practitioners focused on climate action at national and international level within Southeast Asia.

• To influence youth- and/or climate-focused policy-makers and practitioners to engage with approaches that include community-focused, intergenerational knowledge exchange

• To advocate for the role of creativity, storytelling and emotions in supporting and encouraging climate action

For this we worked with youth and in country academics in Vietnam, Thailand and Cambodia to bring relevant stakeholders from youth and/or climate related matters together to see:

• What learning can stakeholders take from the project that they can build into future policies/initiatives focused on youth and/or climate action?

• What information and resources would they need to adopt and advocate the wider adoption of the resources

The diverse responses from the workshop activities were collated to produce a stakeholder ‘wish-list’ for each country and then a combined ‘wish-list’ to inform the development of an international policy brief and accompanying resources needed.
