The ACMI Youth Forum
Together with the African Union Youth Envoy, UNICEF, the Migration Youth and Children’s Platform, YOUNGO, and the Resilient40 Africa, the ACMI has established a dedicated Youth Forum as part of its Community of Practice, to inform its work, drive common youth advocacy, and support youth-led and youth-focused action to address the risks and harness the opportunities associated with climate mobility in Africa. The work and engagements of the ACMI Youth Forum are supported by the Robert Bosch Stiftung.
The ACMI Youth Forum at COP27
At COP27 the Global Centre for Climate Mobility (GCCM), is hosting the Climate Mobility Pavilion (CMP). As one of the pavilion's ten thematic days, 10 November has been designated as Youth Day. Ahead of COP27, the co-organizers of the ACMI Youth Forum are running the ACMI Youth Innovation Challenge and a process to identify youth delegates to participate in the programming of the CMP. The ACMI Youth Innovation Challenge has two tracks, one where youth are invited to submit 1 to 3-minute videos sharing their ideas about solutions for climate mobility, and one through which youth can apply to become Climate Mobility Fellowships to get support to work on their solutions / innovations.
The Youth Volunteer Selection Committee
To ensure inclusive participation in the selection of the winners and Fellows in the ACMI Youth Innovation Challenge as well as the youth delegates for COP27, the co-organizers of the ACMI Youth Forum are setting up a volunteer selection committee. In appointing members to the Youth Volunteer Selection Committee, the co-organizers will ensure regional and gender balance as well as diversity of expertise.
