ABOUT YOUTH CLIMATE LAB

Youth Climate Lab is a youth-for-youth global organization focused on transformative climate action. We design, pilot and scale projects to enable young people to build the just, climate-resilient futures they deserve. Since our inception in May 2017, we have worked with over 40 partners to design and deliver 30 projects reaching young people in 77 countries.

ABOUT THE YCL Toolbox

The Youth Climate Lab (YCL) Toolbox is an open access digital library of interactive resources to help you(th) leverage their lived experiences as expertise and take action on key climate issues. These tools and activities were created to demystify climate policy processes, increase knowledge of the intersections of climate justice, and build skills such as critical thinking, design, advocacy, and effective communication.

LISTEN

Listening and sharing stories is an important way to mobilize action for climate justice on a large scale. Check out our audio blog series, from tips on greening finances to conversations with Indigenous and Global South youth on grassroots movement work.


 

IMAGINE

Imagining new ways of being, doing, relating, and creating is an important part of climate action. We need to begin with envisioning alternative, radical, resilient, climate just futures before we are able to make them a reality. Explore the following tools and activities to gain some inspiration and get your creativity flowing.


 

READ

Understanding the inner workings of key policies, types of governments, and systems of power is essential for youth to influence climate decision-making spaces. Read the following policy brief and manuals to deepen your knowledge.
