Paragraph 1, page 114
Latvia, Central Asian and EU Eastern Partnership countries work together on education
policy. Latvia participated in the EU-Central Asia Education Platform (CAEP) and supports dialogue on volunteering as a way to build young people's skills as well as the exchange of information on digitalising education and peer learning in the field of vocational education. Latvian government scholarships are available to students from Central Asia and the Eastern Partnership countries.

The UN Youth Delegates Programme, as a body representing the views of young people, draws attention to the fact that the youth will experience the effects of today’s decisions, since climate change is inherently exponential.
