Preview: The Story of 'Creating Youth-Led Climate Action Solutions'

The world is falling short on its commitments to people and planet, inaction is driving injustice, complacency perpetuating marginalisation.

But the world’s young people have answers and the drive to implement solutions. They aren’t just changemakers-in-waiting, they are leading the charge right at this very moment in every corner of the world, driving innovation, dialogue and education around the world’s biggest challenge - the climate crisis.

Young leaders on every continent are innovating local solutions to the climate crisis following seed funding investment totalling more than $250,000, awarded in October 2020 as part of YMCA's Youth-Led Solutions initiative.

Hear from young people installing vermicomposting and tackling electronic waste in Hawaii; see their work in Peru where addressing poor sanitisation and inorganic waste has led to addressing income inequity; witness a cross-cultural collaboration between young people in Albay, Philippines and Michigan, USA to train a new generation of eco-leaders; learn about community-led reforestation in the Western Balkan forests of Kosovo; watch as young people create micro-green spaces across Ramallah, Palestine; and discover how curriculum-based climate art projects are utilising up-cycled waste in schools in Zambia.

Documentary coming soon. Premiered as part of COP26's official programme on Friday 12 November - set a reminder to stream it live at    • Видео  .
