The Pre-Youth4Climate workshop is an informational and interactive session led by two Malaysian youth advocates, Sahana Kaur and Mogesh Sababathy, who have been selected to attend the Youth4Climate: driving ambition event in Milan. The workshop, co-delivered with Unicef Malaysia and support from the Malaysian youth delegation, consists of two sessions: an informational kick-off with key stakeholders for session one and an interactive workshop with youth advocates for session two.

Session one is a public event whereby anyone interested to learn about Cop26 and youth participation in climate change may participate, while session two is a closed-door event where youth advocates from various organizations are invited to share their inputs and feedbacks on issues around climate change in Malaysia. The workshop is the first of a three-part series of climate events that support youth advocating for climate action, organized by Unicef Malaysia under the #MyClimateRights advocacy campaign, with the primary focus to provide youth in Malaysia the platform to learn, express, and advocate for their climate rights to a safe and sustainable environment. It provides a youth-led platform for the participation of youth from diverse backgrounds,allowing for the local knowledge sharing of youth movements in climate and environmental action in Malaysia. The inputs gathered will form a collective and unified voice containing key messages to be conveyed at the Y4C in Milan and Cop26 in Glasgow.
