[Phase 1] Youth Actions for Climate Justice - Youth Actions for Climate Justice programme supports young people become change makers and advocates for a fairer and more just world. The programme shifts the focus of climate action away from a purely environment issue, to look at the injustices and inequalities that arise from climate change. Through youth empowered actions the programme supports the voices of young people to be heard in developing new ways for local communities to transition to a greener world. It also ensures that young people are at the forefront of innovation and change with regard to climate justice in their local communities.
[Phase 2] Sustainable Fashion - The 90-minute workshop aimed at providing information and resources to enable the delivery of education for sustainable development on the topic of sustainable fashion for young people. We also provided participating groups with sewing machines so young people could learn practical skills to support them in their consumption of fashion. The resource was launched to coincide with the COP26 conference.
