The event is anchored on the frustrating fact that young people are aware of the same mistakes that have led us all into the current climate crisis. However, young people under GYBN are refusing to sit back and watch as things move to irredeemable levels. GYBN Chapters from both the Global North and South are mobilizing their members in numbers, through diverse ways, to raise their voices and champion youth-led action at grassroots levels to reverse the trends and challenge the status quo. From online and in-person campaigns, ecosystem restoration, intergenerational dialogues, consultation meetings, to Friday strikes, youth are proving that time is of essence.
This event seeks to showcase best youth-led practices that can be emulated by young people from different regions, contexts, and realities.
