Plan for the Integration of Youth in Climate Action

The Proposal for the Plan for the Integration of Youth in Climate Action, as determined in Costa Rica's 2020 NDC, is a strategic document that aims to actively incorporate youth into national climate policies and actions. This plan arises as part of the update of Costa Rica's Nationally Determined Contributions (NDC), where it was established that by 2022 the country should generate a specific plan for youth integration in climate action. Its objective is to strengthen the meaningful participation of young people in the design, implementation, and governance of climate actions, with a focus on social justice, inclusion, gender equity, and the recognition of ancestral knowledge.
