## Resource

The federal government has shut down the Environment and Climate Change Youth Council — a vital platform for young Canadians to directly advise on climate policy — just months after its second cohort was selected. Citing budget cuts and a push to streamline advisory bodies, officials say the council was deemed inefficient, though critics argue it offered unique, accountable engagement that other programs lack. Young advocates, who see themselves as frontline climate stewards, feel sidelined as the government shifts focus to training over influence. With climate policy itself under review, this move signals deeper uncertainty about Canada’s future environmental direction — and whether youth voices will be heard at all.
