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.
Forests are among the most complex ecosystems in the world, supporting many layers of life, from canopies, to undergrowth, to the microbial life at the bottom floor of the forests.
