IMPACTS OF THE NATURE AND CLIMATE CRISES ARE INTERSECTIONAL, CROSS-CUTTING AND HARD HITTING.
Youth bear the burden of our intersecting planetary crises – climate, nature and social inequity. At Youth4Nature, we stand firm on the critical role youth play in influencing decision making and implementation frameworks. By directing the ambition and moral authority that youth hold, we can influence key climate-nature decisions that will determine the shape of our collective futures.
Our work spans at a multi-scalar level with a variety of partners and stakeholders, from grassroots movements and community groups to international NGOs and institutions. Above all, we prioritise working with youth across and within three thematic pillars. Learn more about our work;
Knowledge Sharing
We connect young people with scientists, experts, and knowledge-holders
Capacity building
We aim to grow the capacity of youth to advocate for solutions rooted in nature and justice and be involved in their planning and implementation locally
Storytelling
We provide purpose, skills and platforms for youth from all corners of the world to tell and share their stories
The continuous need to empower youth to accelerate and inspire the needed change in their communities stands at the centre of all our interventions. Catch sight of some works on the go at Youth4Nature;
