#Earth4All #Argentina: Young people confront today’s challenges through debate

At a time when social and environmental crises are deepening, this initiative shows that young people are not just aware of the challenges—they are ready to lead the transformation. The real challenge is to listen to them and make room for their voices in the creation of truly transformative public policies.

5 June 2025

"On 9 May, young people between the ages of 18 and 30 gathered simultaneously in #Córdoba, #BuenosAires, and #Tucumán to take part in the workshop 'Understanding the present to build the future we want,' part of the Earth4All Argentina National Engagement Strategy led by the #ClubOfRome – Argentinian Chapter.

"Organised in collaboration with #FundaciónAlimentaris and #JóvenesPorElClima, the workshop was part of the participatory process of the National Participation Program (NEP), an initiative aimed at gathering diagnostics, experiences, and proposals from local communities to influence public policy. Its goal is to collectively adapt the international Earth4All model to local realities. The model warns of the urgent need to move away from the current path, described as '#TooLittleTooLate,' and to move toward a '#GiantLeap' centred on #social and #EnvironmentalJustice. This transformative agenda is structured around five turnarounds: #EradicatingPoverty, #ReducingInequality, #EmpoweringWomen, transforming #FoodSystems, and driving the energy transition.

"The workshop brought together university students from the host cities, #grassroots and #EnvironmentalActivists, and civically engaged youth eager to influence #LocalPolicies and practices. Facilitated by Jóvenes por el Clima, the event was organized around two main dynamics: first, introducing the foundations and challenges of the Earth4All model; and second, mapping specific local issues and working in thematic groups aligned with the model’s five pillars, with the aim of #CoCreating concrete proposals grounded in the experiences and voices of #YoungPeople."

Gerry, my good man. I for one cannot see this human species going back to the wilderness to live in caves. Struth dude, I would not even think twice about it, nor would any rational being. Half the world lives there still and it can’t wait to join the rest of us. Were are you going with this flawed idealism of yours? Or, are you already practising what you preach? If so, I wish you luck and a happy life in your penury and misery.

I’m afraid that if you cannot understand the simple fact that the development of global civilization follows the arrow of time and will not, cannot go back, necessarily puts you in a category with sinners who proselythise. Calling for degrowth, global resource equity and a return to a ‘green’ natural way of life (whatever it is you think those words mean) is sheer madness and devoid of usefulness and practicality.

I’m going to block you now because I have more practical things to do than converse with somewone who does not listen.

What's the emotion for when City Commissioners repeat the concerns you raised? Opposite of disempowerment. Politics got you down? #StartLocal #YourVoiceMatters #Vote
