Samhan: Youth Lead Climate Fight and Face Increased Risks
The head of the Palestinian Environment Quality Authority, Zoghloul Samhan, affirmed that Palestinian youth are the main force in facing the impacts of climate change, especially amidst Israeli occupation efforts to hinder development by controlling resources and imposing blockades. He explained that climate action intersects with development challenges caused by the occupation, such as land confiscation and restrictions on construction. He emphasized the importance of transforming the outcomes of the Youth Conference on Climate Change into practical policies and initiatives in sectors like renewable energy, smart agriculture, and waste management, while highlighting the need for international funding and technology to support adaptation and mitigate effects. He pointed out that Israeli occupation causes a humanitarian and environmental catastrophe in the Gaza Strip, and that reconstruction requires national and youth efforts. He also reaffirmed Palestine’s commitment to international climate action and its responsibilities despite political challenges.
