Arctic Youth Engagement Strategy: 2021-2026

This document outlines the need for youth engagement and why it is valuable; it also addresses some key considerations and possible opportunities that CAFF should take into account as it implements future work. This strategy is directed to the CAFF Management Board and the broader Working Group and was developed with direct input from youth leaders who served as key advisers in developing this document. While youth can be defined across a broad spectrum of ages, CAFF has historically focused its work on three sub-groups including:

• School-aged children between 5 and 17
• University / early-career youth between 18 and 25
• Post docs and other early-career experts between 23 and 35
