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.
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!
October, a month of action, action and more action!
We come to you from our different countries, to showcase what we have been upto in the past weeks, what we are doing, or even our inspiration to keep acting for nature, climate and communities this month.

Enjoy our October #PhotoChallenge with us!
En América Latina, aparte de los famosos gigantes de hielo en la cordillera de los Andes al sur del continente también tenemos glaciares en zonas menos esperadas: los trópicos. Colombia tiene 6 glaciares, México tiene 3 y Venezuela tiene 1. Gracias a ellos tenemos agua fluyendo de las montañas a los campos agrícolas y a las ciudades…
Adoption of Nature-based Solutions specifically within cities has as well been identified to address a wide range of societal challenges; climate change mitigation and adaptation, disaster risk reduction, economic and social development, human health, food security, water security, environmental degradation and biodiversity loss. A great deal of emphasis thus should be put on practical NbS so as to boost greening and eco-friendly cities across the African continent.
