We need and only need nature-based solutions that truly put people and nature in focus. Ahead of UNCBD COP16, UNFCCC COP29, and UNCCD COP16, find out where we are feeling optimistic and where we see concern for NbS as it continues to take centre stage with states and decision makers, the private sector, and civil society.
We are thrilled to launch the "Narratives of Change" campaign, collecting stories from youth globally through an open call, emphasizing their experiences with climate change, biodiversity, and human mobility. Learn more and submit your story!
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.
Solving global problems requires active engagement with the private sector. It is time for the private sector to step up to current and future challenges. We need them on board constructively as partners without constant opposition. At Youth4Nature, we feel that it is our duty to do something to improve the current situation. Meet the Youth4Nature Private Sector Taskforce and get to know what they’re up to and how you can get involved.
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.
As part of Africa Climate Week, we partnered with Youth in Landscapes to host Youth Voices for Nature and Climate; A path to restoration. Together, we brought forward youth leaders who are engaging with initiatives that are transforming their communities, creating opportunities for youth, and at the same time helping restore nature as well as acting for the climate within their various landscapes from Nigeria, Kenya, and Zimbabwe.

The truth is, for most of us in the Global South, we feel the drastic effects of the climate and nature crises, and are acting now because we do not have the luxury of time to wait for any other person to do it! The time is now, and we are doing all we can. Be encouraged to keep doing your part as well. And for now, join our Global Ambassadors in their own words and photos, as they bring us closer to their landscapes this month!
