Empowering Young Voices to Lead Climate Action

Empowerment means equipping children and youth with the confidence, skills, and support to shape their future—starting now. By planting trees, speaking at summits, and launching climate projects, they turn ideas into impact. And with a global network behind them, they’re leading the conversations.

Ambassador’s Journey

Step 1

Becoming an Ambassador

At our Academies and School Workshops, children and youth learn about climate justice and discover their power to take action.

With the right knowledge and tools, they take action in their local communities.

Step 2

Connecting with the Global Network in Regional Clusters

Change happens together.

Ambassadors connect through Regional Clusters, regional spaces for training, mentorship, and peer support on a local level. These help young changemakers grow their impact locally and globally.

Advocating for Climate Justice & Forests

Why is it important?

We participate in conferences to ensure youth voices are heard where decisions about our future are made — our presence helps hold leaders accountable and drives action for a climate-just future. Advocacy means building strong networks and standing up for the changes we believe in and pushing for real action from those in power.

The simplest way to drive this change is to ask your local mayors or decisionmakers for a personal meeting. Our Mayor’s Guide shows you how to prepare:
