Youth Voices for Climate Justice - Taking Action Series
We are building on earlier workshops where young people explored climate justice and identified key challenges. Now, we’re moving into action... and this next phase will take place fully online.
Youth for Climate Justice (Youth4CJ) brings together young people, academics and community organisations to explore climate justice and create change together.
In this phase, participants will work as co‑researchers, developing a youth‑led project that responds to the issues raised so far — moving from ideas to action through shared decision‑making and collaboration.
