In moments of political tension, remember, we are one people, one nation.
Different ideas should never lead to violence.
No matter your party. No matter your views. Respect every voice. Protect every life.
Let’s choose dialogue over conflict, and peace over political violence.

ActionAid Zambia, through the Global Platform, this week, joined young leaders, CSOs, policymakers, and climate advocates at the Local Conference of Youth on Climate Change (LCOY) 2026.

LCOY 2026 has brought together diverse youth voices to advance climate justice, youth leadership, and an inclusive green transition. Under the theme “From Local Action to a Just Global Climate Influence,” the conference centers communities in shaping climate decisions.

With representation from across Zambia, young people have united to develop a Youth Position Paper, a bold statement of priorities and solutions for a just, inclusive, and youth-centered climate response to inform national policy and global negotiations. Local action must drive global impact.
