Consultative meeting “The climate crisis, young people and democracy” The climate crisis is an issue that affects everyone and needs rapid responses worldwide, but it is the young people and future generations, who will be impacted the most if we do not assess these problems. This week DYPALL Network took part in a consultative meeting „The climate crisis, young people and democracy,” organised by the Youth Department of the Council of Europe.
