AT A GLANCE
The project YCAN (Youth Climate Action Network) addresses the fact that climate change requires urgent action, as it remains a global crisis with particularly severe consequences for vulnerable communities.
Young people worldwide have emerged as passionate advocates for climate action, demonstrating their commitment through activism and awareness efforts. Yet, despite their enthusiasm and drive, they often face significant barriers, including limited access to resources, knowledge, and networks essential for creating meaningful and sustainable solutions.
The project aims to empower youth in Europe and Sub-Saharan Africa by fostering collaboration, providing education, and implementing community-driven solutions to mitigate and adapt to climate change.
Through mobility programs, training sessions, and collaborative activities, the project will help youth organizations build their capacity to address in their local context. It will also provide opportunities for international knowledge sharing, where organizations can learn from each other and adopt new ideas.
For young people, the project aims to create a community where they can learn, collaborate, and develop solutions for climate resilience. It will foster participation, facilitate collaborative channels, and provide opportunities to engage in international mobility initiatives.
