We will build the confidence and ability of young people to lead calls for action on topics they are passionate about: climate, equality and wellbeing. We will also develop complementary teaching resources connecting fossil fuels with climate, conflict and injustice – and actions to deliver change.

Beneficiaries
Young people feel the impacts of the cost of living crisis, they witness inequality, and know their futures are being damaged by fossil fuels: they are angry, energetic and they want action. They are eager to gain the skills and knowledge to hold those in power to account. Young people are invested in demanding action on issues such as air pollution, fossil fuel dependency, and social media manipulation, which are damaging both people and planet, and which those in power are failing to resolve.
We will engage youth campaigners to develop the skills, competence and confidence to develop evidence-based policy asks, using an environmental and social justice framing. We will then support young people with relevant resources, campaign actions and strategies to build a powerful base and momentum to win the support of decision-makers and other influencers to deliver genuine, long-term changes to the intersecting challenges of climate, social justice and wellbeing.
