This interactive jam space aims to create a platform where youth voices and experiences of enacting the principles for locally led adaptation can come together. We will use a jam board to collate ideas and experiences into one visual representation of youth experiences in transforming the principles into practice. It is an opportunity to hear the diverse experiences of youth climate leaders of how they are enacting specific principles to create transformative impacts and partnerships at local level. We will bring together all our voices to identify recommendations and solutions for enacting the principles at the scale needed to respond to the climate crisis.
