Youth Pre-distribution Pact: Designing Fairness at the Source | ChangeNow x YSI

​Why do inequalities persist, and why is redistribution never enough?

​The Youth Pre-distribution Pact (YPDP) sets out to answer these questions through a hands-on, youth-led workshop created by young leaders from ChangeNOW’s Youth Parliament and economists from the Young Scholars Initiative (YSI).

​Participants will explore youth-driven policy recommendations, debate systemic solutions for equity and climate justice, and co-design concrete actions to build fairness at the very source of our economies.

​📣 SPEAKERS:

• ​João Pedro Braga (Coordinator of the Young Scholars Initiative and PhD candidate at the University College London)

• ​Criseyda Roman Cordova (Youth Advisory Committee, Science Panel for the Amazon)

• ​Nohora Alejandra Quiguantar (Founder, Tejiendo Pensamientos)

• ​Maëlle Bousquié (Heterodox economist working as an editorialist for ChangeNOW )

• ​Claire Debucquois (Claire is a researcher working on climate policies and green finance regulation, with a focus on the Brazilian Amazon.)

​The Youth Pre-distribution Pact (YPDP) was born out of ChangeNOW’s Youth Parliament, where over 150 young leaders from YSI, The Club of Rome, and other youth-led initiatives co-created policy proposals for a fairer economy. Entirely designed and led by youth, this workshop will present recommendations based on a pre-distribution approach and invite participants to debate and co-create solutions addressing the roots of inequality and climate injustice.

​Through interactive discussions and hands-on activities, attendees will discover how youth-led research and collaboration can shape concrete pathways for systemic change and influence real-world policy.
