🌍 Asian Youth Regional Consultations!
As part of the journey toward the Santa Marta Conference (28–29 April 2026, Colombia), young voices across Asia are coming together to co-create a powerful Global Youth Statement for a fossil-free future.
It was truly inspiring to be part of this regional consultation, engaging with passionate young leaders committed to climate action. I had the opportunity to contribute my perspectives under climate finance—an area that remains critical in ensuring an equitable and just transition.
During the discussions, Syndicate Spark Surge emphasized the urgent need for: ⚡ Increased accessibility to climate finance for grassroots and youth-led initiatives
⚡ Transparent and accountable funding mechanisms
⚡ Stronger support for communities most vulnerable to climate impacts
⚡ Inclusive decision-making that places youth at the center of financial solutions
These conversations are more than dialogue—they are shaping the demands and visions that will be carried forward to the global stage.
Grateful to be part of a movement that is not only imagining a fossil-free future but actively building pathways to achieve it. 🌱

Day 2 | Strengthening Regional Alignment for COP31
Day 2 of the Southeast Asia–South Asia Preparatory Meeting focused on turning dialogue into direction.
Through collaborative breakout sessions and collective discussions, we worked towards building common regional positions on key priorities — Adaptation, Loss & Damage, Climate Finance, and Just Transition.
A major highlight was the effort to shape a shared Southeast Asia–South Asia agenda, ensuring that regional voices are aligned, strategic, and impactful in the lead-up to COP31 and the Santa Marta Conference.
These conversations are a reminder that real progress comes from collaboration, trust, and a shared vision for climate justice.
Looking forward to translating these discussions into meaningful action.
