Climate change is a global issue.  It has been caused by past actions, but affects the present and future wellbeing of every human on the planet. Because of this, the question arises as to how upcoming generations plan on tackling this issue. As a young adult, I attended the 2014 United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change 20<sup>th</sup> Conference of Parties in Lima, Peru in order to gain more knowledge about what progress is being made.  My presentation looks at movements, policies, and technologies that are currently available and how this compares and contrasts to what younger populations are doing and hope to see done.  Specifically, I will focus on how younger populations are moving forward and inciting change.  Broad coalitions of youth are attempting to influence climate negotiations.  Around the globe, youth are engaged in grass-root efforts and outreach programs within their communities.
