Youth4Nature

Youth4Nature (Y4N) is a by-youth, for-youth, international non-profit organisation, that works at the intersection of both nature and climate. Our mission is to address the challenges of resources, capacity, knowledge & access that prevent youth from being full and effective leaders for nature and climate solutions that are rooted in knowledge and grounded in justice. We do this by: Educating youth to build knowledge and inspire new and innovative ideas; Equipping youth with resources, skills, and access to transform their ideas into climate-nature solutions; and, Establishing youth as leaders for nature and climate on global and local stages. Our overarching ambition is to tackle the deep roots of the climate and biodiversity crisis through the leadership of youth. By building their capacity from the most grassroots to the most international level, we want to further empower and sustain the voices of the unheard to foster bottom-up change that is inclusive, participatory, and systemic. And because we are young people ourselves, we have the ability to ensure that our community has agency and ownership over the nature and climate work that we need and deserve to lead on, contributing to our mission even further.
