widespread, there is still much room for improvement in accessing ICT services. For the less developed countries, the access to ICTs such as computers, mobile phones, and internet service is still limited. Moreover, the cost of building andaccessing these ICTs is higher in these countries. Because of this, inclusivity in terms of interaction and participation also becomes an issue. In order to foster inclusiveness in participation via ICTs, it becomes important to promote accessibility to ICTs that is 'universal, non -discriminatory, equitabl e, and affordable.' (United Nations, 2013) However, it is not only a particular country's development state that becomes a challenge in accessing ICTs. The special needs of the youth should also be taken into account. The youth who are disenfranchised--migrants and refugees, indigent youth, indigenous youth, youth with illnesses, youth with disabilities, to name a few--may also experience difficulty in accessing ICTs.

########## Climate Change

The steadily changing climate has affected not only the environment but society as well. With the changing landscapes come changes in the lifestyle of individuals. This is brought about by the decreasing availability of resources such as food, water, and materials, which, in turn, results in malnutrition, poor health, and migration. The children and the youth become particularly vulnerable, as these (food, shelter, and stability) are primary needs for them to develop successfully. As such, it becomes critical to properly address the ever-growing challenge that is climate change. Youth and climate change. and climate change. As previously mentioned, the youth are among the vulnerable because of climate change. The steadily decreasing resources translate to a more rugged lifestyle for the coming generations of youth--lesser sources of nutrition and materials and an increasing tendency towards migration to areas with better resources. However, the youth are also being heavily regarded as solution providers of climate change, as the current generation's collective action can greatly affect the trajectory of climate change. Sustainable development. development. Perhaps the biggest challenge that climate change presents would be sustainable development. To put it simply, sustainable development champions practices, methods, and policies that would ensure that the needs of the current generation are properly met and addressed, without sacrificing the ability of future generations to do the same. With the decline in available resources because of the changing climate, sustainable development becomes difficult to achieve or oversee. Information dissemination. dissemination. Despite knowledge on climate change being available, experts note that there is much room for improvement with regard to the avenues for information sharing. It is only in the recent years that information on climate change has been readily available and that the recognition of climate change being anactual issue has beengaining traction. Eveninthewake of this awareness, there are some who still believe that climate change is not a fact or is blown out of proportion. The challenge now is to make information-sharing more efficient and more effective. One such instance for improvement would be in the gap found between the information providers and the consumers. Some experts note that, in most cases, producers of information (such as scientists)
