Youth4Nature's 2023 Impact Report

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.

Planting Our Future: International Youth Day Series

This is part of a short series for International Youth Day that is looking at how young people see, understand, and are acting for and with forests.

“We planted all this not for ourselves but for our neighbours. Each household now has at least 5 plants from us. I was able to teach children, youth and elders the role of trees and forests, any why forest conservation is crucial. When you plant even one tree, you have the power to influence so many people; indeed, you can influence life all over the world.”

Planting Our Future: International Youth Day Series

This is part of a short series for International Youth Day that is looking at how young people see, understand, and are acting for and with forests.

“Since April 2019, the news has been dominated by a controversial decommissioning project for public utility, in particular regarding the exploitation of part (16 ha) of the classified forest of Kua for the construction of a hospital. This decision revolted us young climate activists and we started to protest.”

Sustaining Our Transformative Work: Reflections on System Change

“In the end, thanks to the Immersion and my reflections on challenging experiences, I have come to the realisation that I can’t sustainably and joyfully work towards transformative and systemic change without undergoing some inner changes in my perspective and ways of functioning as part of the process. As mentioned, mobilising, campaigning and organising isn’t easy. And trying to do it without feeling comfortable in its innate intricacy, without love and positive energy is not possible in the long run. “
