The ASEAN Youth Report “Learning Cities: Drivers for Youth Participation in Climate Change Governance” focused on the role of cities in ASEAN in tackling the climate crisis, particularly through the engagement and collaboration with young people. It analyzed existing structures and processes of policy-making and implementation in the field of Climate Change and Environment (CC&E) in ASEAN, examined multilevel governance approaches from the municipal to inter-regional and the global level, and discussed how youth participation could be enhanced in these fields for greater impact. The Report included contributions by academics from 10 ASEAN countries, interviews with key government stakeholders and representatives from local communities, the results of an ASEAN-wide youth survey on the topic, as well as insights from a 10-day study visit for 20 ASEAN youth leaders in Bangkok and Manila in November 2022.
