Within this framework, UN\-Habitat supports central and state governments, as well as local authorities and other partners for the implementation of the Habitat Agenda, the 2030 Agenda with the Sustainable Development Goals and the New Urban Agenda. UN\-Habitat helps the urban poor by transforming cities into safer, more inclusive, compact, integrated, resilient and connected places with better opportunities where everyone can live with dignity. It works with organizations at every level, including all spheres of government, civil society, and the private sector to help build, manage, plan and finance sustainable urban development. The Regional Office for Latin American and the Caribbean – ROLAC – is based in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. The Agency puts emphasis in developing and managing activities in the host country. Indeed, for the past years, UN\-Habitat has expanded its portfolio in Brazil by working with the three tiers of government to support the formulation and implementation of more effective, sustainable, participative, and socially fairer urban economic, social, and environmental policies. In this context, the “Rio Inclusivo e Sustentável Project: A territorial approach to localize the Sustainable Development Goals in the State of Rio de Janeiro and ensure that no one and no territory is left behind” aims to strengthen urban and climate resilience across the state through the implementation of the 2030 Agenda and the principles of the New Urban Agenda. The project is structured around three areas: information, planning, and social participation. Regarding the latter, the project focuses on prioritized territories, particularly through participatory and community\-based approaches. Within this project, the “Youth gamification for environmental preservation and urban resilience” product seeks to engage young people, especially within public schools, through innovative and participatory methodologies such as gamification and educommunication. The initiative promotes youth engagement in climate justice, sustainability, and the right to the city by combining learning processes with creative and collaborative activities, fostering critical thinking and territorial awareness. Activities will be implemented in schools and prioritized territories in the municipality of Petrópolis, mobilizing youth through challenges and collective dynamics connected to their lived realities. In this regard, audiovisual production constitutes a strategic dimension of the pedagogical and mobilization processes, enabling youth participants to construct and express narratives regarding their territories, experiences, and perceptions on topics such as climate justice, sustainability, and the right to the city. Activities will be implemented in schools and prioritized territories in the municipality of Petrópolis, combining training processes, creative experimentation, and collective content production.
