About the webinar
Young people are increasingly aware of the challenges and opportunities posed by a new pattern of development. The new generations have not only a stronger social and environmental awareness than its predecessors, but also have the energy and knowledge to guide their communities, organizations and countries to a low-emission and climate resilient development.
In Latin America and the Caribbean there are very important initiatives aimed at linking young people to the transformation of development at local and national level by promoting entrepreneurship, active participation in the discussion and implementation of policies and involvement in climate action.
In this webinar we will learn from two of these initiatives: Generation + 1 from Peru, with their Talent + 1 program, which develops leadership, strengthen capacities, facilitates incidence, and supports ventures among young persons from that country; and the GREENOVATORS contest that was promoted by the Inter-American Development Bank to support youth entrepreneurship and leadership on climate change and sustainable development. The winner of GREENOVATORS 2014 will present his project.
