Our 2023 Impact Report showcases how young people catalyse significant impact for the entire climate and nature movement, beyond ourselves. We invite you to explore in this report how our work at Youth4Nature is contributing to more robust, resilient, and transformative change, and imagine with us the possibilities if the largest population group on the planet received more 0.76% of the climate funding.
Check out what was on the agenda at our post-COP28 event in Uganda! Through presentations, a Nature-climate clinic and interactive breaks, we delved into robust discussions on Nature and Climate Change ahead of the Climate and Biodiversity Conventions coming up later this year.
Last Monday communities across Türkiye and Syria experienced devastating earthquakes, the impacts of which are extrapolated by the impacts of climate change such as drought, war, displacement, and more. What can we do? As the global climate community, we know what solidarity looks like. Y4N Syrian Global Ambassador, Yazan, has put together this call to action.
That’s a wrap! 2021 has been a long yet fulfilling year for our community. While these stories bring us from mountains to deserts to coasts, they carry the complexity of raising deep concern, while also showcasing the beautiful landscapes and resilience in Afrika and its people. As you enjoy our December #PhotoChallenge, may it help you reflect on your 2021 journey and intentionally plan into the coming year!
While international law has not given human rights protection to people being forced to migrate because of climate, it should be a priority for young people in the climate movement to make sure that every single community is included in the discussion, and that we are using the power of multiculturalism to create more useful and accessible solutions that can help those people not just to adapt to the climate change consequences, but also to co-lead on the solutions with other young people around the world.
We are looking for personal narratives that focus on intersectional vulnerability, illustrate solutions related to vulnerability, loss & resilience, and highlight youth stories from climate-vulnerable & biodiversity-rich communities.
