Track 1 | Sustainable & Green Planet
Create a Climate Club aiming for a just energy transition and including meaningful participation of youth and those most impacted. The Climate Club’s carbon price floor should be set at a level to reach 1.5 °C, with differentiated prices, according to CBDR-RC principles, putting the onus on high-income countries. The Climate Club must include international revenue recycling and avoid carbon leakage by creating tariffs rather than exemptions for carbon-intensive industries. Track 2 | Economic Transformation for Shared Progress Succeed in the digital and environmental transitions of jobs. Develop and promote strong partnerships between educational and scientific institutions, industry-leading companies, start-ups, MSMEs, and social enterprises to ensure young people have wider access to paid work placements. Introduce a globally recognised, science-informed climate change certification program for decision- makers in the private and public sectors to promote ethical leadership. Track 3 | Resilience of Democracies G7 governments and their partners should create arms-length Civil Society Task Forces that will implement tailored communication and engagement tools to increase community participation in policy-making. The Task Force should be cognisant of local needs, proactively engage all citizens facing barriers to participation, and represent diverse youth and marginalised communities. Governments should finance the accessibility of digital and physical environments and economically enable participation to ensure deliberation processes are inclusive. Track 4 | Global Health & Solidarity As per SDG 3.4, improve the provision of support services in order to address growing challenges on mental health from particular crises, including climate anxiety and COVID-19. Services should be universal, accessible, effective and affordable across educational institutions, workplaces and the community. National requirements outlining standards for the provision of mental health education from the age of seven, coupled with national campaigns and training for universities and employers, to address structural causes and prevent discrimination. Track | Youth, Peace & Security Lead by example in the implementation of the Youth, Peace & Security (YPS) agenda. From young people’s participation in peace processes and strong partnerships with youth organisations to their protection and meaningful (re)integration, concrete actions for the institutionalisation of YPS is needed. Focus on young people in response to every conflict and war, including in Ukraine.
