Climate protection tops Youth20 agenda

Federal Government

"Designing the world's future" was the topic of this year’s Youth20 Dialogue Forum in Hamburg, where young people from more than 20 countries met to discuss global issues including climate change. The forum presented recommendations to Chancellor Angela Merkel on Wednesday, demanding compliance with the Paris Climate Protection Agreement. Merkel expressed support for a review of international climate protection targets, but added that unfortunately, not all countries were ready to participate.
