Fri Sep 06 04:10:56 UTC 2024: – The Department of Climate Change, Energy, the Environment and Water is launching its own youth advisory council
– In the past, youth advisory groups have been criticized for being tokenistic and lacking real influence
– Despite shortcomings, youth advisory groups can have value if they have defined mandates and authority
– The new youth advisory council will only run until December 2025 and will not be involved in policy making
– It remains to be seen if the council will increase government accountability or if it will be another tokenistic mechanism.
