The study of young planetary systems is of great importance for understanding their formation and evolution. Therefore, today, a great effort is placed on the observation and modeling of such systems. Of course, planets do not evolve in isolation, but their behavior depends on the host star and the environment in which they are embedded. In particular, we know that at young ages, solar-type stars are much more active than sun-age stars with all the phenomena that this involves, including strong emission at high energies, from ultraviolet (UV) to X-rays, stellar winds, frequent flares, and coronal mass ejection emission. Such an energetic environment has an important influence on planetary atmospheres.It is now widely accepted that high-energy radiation can drive planetary evaporation, especially of hot low-density planets, and may also have a strong impact on the thermal structure and chemical compositions of the atmospheres. X-rays and extreme ultraviolet (EUV) photons have different roles, since the former produce cascades of energetic secondary electrons, and penetrate deep in the atmospheres, reaching in some cases the planetary surface. Their effects are strongly dependent on metallicity since they are absorbed mainly from high z elements. On the contrary, the effects of EUV are concentrated on the upper layers of the atmospheres and are fairly independent of the presence of metals since they are efficiently absorbed by hydrogen and helium. In this paper, we will review some of the recent outcomes of star-planet interactions studies during the young stellar ages.
