The Youth Climate Council is looking for seven new members to advise the Minister of Climate, Energy and Utilities on the green transition and engage young people in the climate debate.
This is stated in a press release by the Ministry of Climate, Energy and Utilities.
Three of the new members are selected through an an open application process, while the remaining four are appointed by the Danish Youth Council (DUF) as representatives of youth organizations and movements. The members of the council come from all over the country and have different backgrounds, but what they have in common is their interest in climate policy and their willingness to work voluntarily.
- The Youth Climate Council provides a unique opportunity to collaborate with other young people who have a completely different approach to climate than themselves. All young people have everything at stake in the climate crisis, and there is therefore a lot we can agree on – whether it is about how we should take responsibility for consumption-based emissions or making the financial sector greener. And that is precisely why it is also meaningful to work to engage even more young people in the climate agenda, says member of the Youth Climate Council Ida Lærke Holm.
For those interested, information meetings will be held on March 10 in Copenhagen and Aarhus, where current members will talk about the work of the council. The application deadline to become a member is April 4, 2025.
