♻️ What Happens When Youth Are Given a Seat at the Table? This week at the Zero Waste Forum in Istanbul, one thing became increasingly clear: the transition to a zero-waste world will not be built without young people. From conversations on methane emissions and climate action to discussions on circular economies, organic waste solutions, and the inclusion of waste pickers, youth voices were not just present—they were shaping the conversation. As YCC Uganda, we were inspired by how global leaders are beginning to recognize what young people have long known: waste is not simply a disposal problem. It is a climate issue. It is a jobs issue. It is a health issue. And most importantly, it is an opportunity. Across the forum, innovative solutions such as Black Soldier Fly farming, composting, recycling, and regenerative approaches to organic waste management demonstrated how communities can transform waste into livelihoods, food security, and climate solutions. For youth, these are not just environmental interventions; they represent pathways to entrepreneurship, innovation, and green employment. We were equally encouraged by the growing recognition of waste pickers as frontline environmental champions. Every day, waste pickers recover valuable materials, reduce emissions, and keep resources circulating within the economy. A truly just transition must ensure that both waste pickers and young people are not only consulted but empowered to lead.
