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.

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.

Previo a la Cumbre de Adaptación Global, la Red Global de Jóvenes por la Biodiversidad - Capítulo México en conjunto con Youth4Nature, con el apoyo del Ministerio de Medio Ambiente y Cambio Climático de Canada (ECCC) y el Programa de Acción de Soluciones Basadas en la Naturaleza (NBS) de la Comisión Global de Adaptación, organizaron un evento para discutir las oportunidades y desafíos en la ampliación de la implementación de NBS y EBA (adaptación basada en ecosistemas).
“[…] the IPCC’s SRCCL shines light on interlinked global challenges like climate adaptation and mitigation, desertification, land degradation and food security, whilst suggesting land-related actions/NBS that can mutually benefit all these areas. Whilst much of the current discussion misguidedly focuses on singular individual lifestyle changes, just like with the Special Report on 1.5C, we urgently need large-scale and context-dependent action that is participatory, inclusive, multi-sectoral, and actively considers ecological, social, economic, cultural and institutional factors.”
