“Our government firmly believes that climate change is not just an environmental issue\u2014it is a developmental challenge that affects every aspect of our society, economy, and well-being,” Romina emphasized.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Their efforts are shaping the global and national narratives surrounding climate action,” she remarked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Ministry of Climate Change is committed to amplifying youth voices in policy dialogues, providing capacity-building initiatives, and collaborating with educational institutions to promote climate literacy and research, said Ms. Romina. \u201cThis summit is a unique opportunity for young people to not only learn but also lead,\u201d she said, urging participants to network and collaborate with like-minded individuals passionate about climate action.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ms. Romina called for collective responsibility in combating climate change, stating, \u201cLet us remember that combating climate change is not the responsibility of a single entity but a shared obligation that requires the combined efforts of governments, civil society, private organizations, and individuals.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
