Youth are also greatly impacted by climate change due to the loss of educational and skill-building opportunities. The United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF) estimates that by 2050, climate change would cause up to 1.8 billion school days to be lost worldwide, which will have a catastrophic effect on the education and skill-building of young people.
Apart from engaging in activism and lobbying, young people in the SADC area also use community-based projects to advance social justice and human rights. Numerous youth in the neighborhood participate in community-based initiatives that support social justice and human rights, especially in the fields of economic empowerment, health, and education.
