Join the Youth Voices #For Nature Campaign, a partnership between the UNMGCY, UNEP, UNDP, UNCBD, WWF and the Lion's Share

2020 and 2021 must be Super Years for Nature - Years when the world negotiates and renews its collective commitment to protect nature. It is time to Act #ForNature and it is time for youth to raise their voices #ForNature. We want to amplify youth voices and ensure that youth priorities are included in policy-making processes that will impact our lives and that of future generations. We must rise together and push for transformative change together. We must create a more equitable and inclusive movement that helps build a greener and more just future for all.

Join the Manifesto and Open Letter 

- Launch Day: International Youth Day, 12 August 2020 - 

In the form of a Manifesto and Open Letter, we would like to mobilize world leaders to support youth priorities for 2020 and 2021 and the resolutions youth want to see being addressed and adopted in the next decade and beyond to achieve a vision of “living in harmony with nature”.

Accompanied by videos from youth, we intend to present the Open Letter to the UN Secretary-General at the UN General Assembly (UNGA) Biodiversity Summit, to drive ambition for nature and biodiversity in the lead up to the UN Environment Assembly (UNEA)-5, Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) COP15 and Climate Change (UNFCCC) COP26.
