The European Youth Centre in Budapest is currently hosting the study session titled "Mobilising Youth Towards Climate and Health Injustice" from 11 to 16 September 2023. The study session, organised by the Youth Department in cooperation with the International Youth Health Organisation, aims to empower 24 participants from 13 member states of the Council of Europe to actively participate in decision-making and policy processes at the local, national, and international levels concerning climate and health justice.

 The session specifically addresses the importance of environmental health and the impact of climate change on youth health, while also looking at the topic from a human rights and inequalities perspective. Participants are actively exploring and designing climate action strategies and policy advocacy initiatives. Additionally, participants will be introduced to the policy work in the Council of Europe on the topic, including the drafting process of the upcoming standard on climate action and young people.

 At the end of the study session, participants will collaborate to create practical tools and initiatives such as the Map of Opportunities to ensure follow-up implementation beyond the session's duration.
