While there exist different opinions on linking climate and security which undoubtedly is a double-edged sword, this WG recognises that this process is happening with or without youth voices and that proactive engagement in this discourse is necessary to promote inclusion. | Sakshi Shree Maryam Akhtar Jorge Valderrabano | sakshi.shree03@gmail.com m.maryamakhtar111@gmail.com jorge@agoramex.org | https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfA4Ig_IjH6peJ_c8ssMXI6XYZc_dUYnMenvp8fBJrmc83DbA/viewform | ||||||||||||||||||
