Youth4Nature's 2023 Impact Report

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.

Celebrating June in this way began in 2009, after a unanimous motion passed by the House of Commons. Normally it is a time to celebrate the “history, heritage and diversity” of First Nations, Inuit, and Metis peoples in Canada. However, this year's celebration has been stained with sadness for Indigenous People across Canada after the news released Thursday, May 27th of 215 children’s bodies found beneath the grounds of the Kamloops Indian Residential School.

Reflections from the IUCN Global Youth Summit: Nature-based Solutions for People, for Justice and for Nature

People are part of the nature, and unlikely the common speech says, not all people are responsible for the climate and biodiversity crisis the world is facing!

#JusticeForAfrica

This blog began from our desire to bring awareness to the #endSARS crisis that is ongoing in Nigeria. From there, we have been in conversation with our brothers and sisters in Africa and want to open this conversation to bring light to the array of hardships they are facing at this very moment. We stand in solidarity with all who are affected by these crises, and we hope that we can help bring attention - and therefore action - to support our community in Africa.
