Today, on World Wetlands Day, Youth Engaged in Wetlands (YEW) is proud to release its COP15 Report following the 15th Conference of the Parties of the Convention on Wetlands, held in Victoria Falls, Zimbabwe.

“Recognising youth perspectives within diverse knowledge systems” documents how young people contributed meaningfully to negotiations, side events, and the adoption of Resolution XV.19 on Youth Empowerment and Integration — only the second youth-focused resolution in the Convention’s history.

This report highlights:
🔹 Youth participation as scientists, negotiators, and policy shapers
🔹 Concrete outcomes from youth-led engagement at COP15
🔹 A clear call to action for governments, institutions, and partners to move from recognition to implementation

Wetlands are vital for biodiversity, climate resilience, and livelihoods. Ensuring their future means ensuring meaningful, supported, and sustained youth participation — today, not tomorrow.

Report available here: https://bit.ly/4bsAjnf

📢 We invite you to read the report, share it, and join us in strengthening youth engagement in wetland governance worldwide.
