The European Allergy and Asthma Youth Parliament took part in the European Youth Event (EYE) to deliver the voice of young patients living with allergy and asthma to the EU in a list of ideas presented to Conference on the Future of Europe. They attended a workshop to advocate for an awareness raising campaign on the impact climate change has on health, as well as to ask for concrete measures to reduce its consequences.
The outcome of the workshops were 20 key ideas from young people to be included in a final report. The Youth Parliament was thrilled to find that their idea on climate change and health was voted into the top 5. It is a clear statement that young people are increasingly concerned with the dangerous impact climate change has on their health, and calls action to prevent long-term consequences that young people will suffer the most from.
