Climate change is no longer an issue of future concern, rather it is happening now; more frequently and more intensely. Either it is flood, cyclone or heatwave, young people are always the sufferers. Yet their representation is not adequate on the global context. To reduce this gap between policy making and youth participation; Brighters Society of Bangladesh, with the support of ActionAid Bangladesh, organizes ‘Bangladesh Youth CoP’ since 2021 to articulate grassroots young people’s voice to the national and global platforms.
The National Youth Policy Dialogue 2025, organized by Plan International Bangladesh, YES Bangladesh, and supported by Sweden Sverige, brought together diverse youth voices to influence national policy. The dialogue created a platform for young leaders to share perspectives, advocate inclusive policies, and strengthen youth participation in shaping Bangladesh’s future.
