Sowing purpose, platforms, community and solutions among youth
We transform your reflections, actions and creativity into influential narratives and impactful projects. Your local climate-nature issues turn into a global web of climate-nature solutions. And your personal accounts turn into inspiring stories on the power of considering and resourcing locally-led and youth-led climate-nature action for socially just systems change.
Join our Ongoing Storytelling Campaign
Are you a young person or youth-led group implementing local climate-nature solutions that respect human rights, align with biodiversity science, and promote livelihoods? Would you like to join a movement making the case for better funding, capacity-building and job opportunities for youth in the green sector?
Our current Storytelling Campaign, Unearth Voices, is gathering stories from young people that explore how social, economic and political power shape plans, financing and solutions for climate and nature in our local communities and beyond. Our goal is to shift youth and frontline communities from the margins to the mainstream of environmental action.

Climate mobility is already shaping our generation. The stories we tell about it matter, because they can change how we respond. When young people share what they see and what they build—whether it’s planting trees, protecting water sources, or rebuilding after storms—they remind us that resilience is not a slogan, it’s something we practice together.
In October 2023, Youth4Nature supported a series of activities under a newly launched project, She Shapes Nature, in Dar es Salaam and Pwani Region. A Y4N storytelling outreach project, She Shapes Nature focuses on collecting and amplifying the stories of local girls and women working in the nature-based economy, including circular waste management, seaweed farming, land-based farming and mangrove restoration.
