Our Story
Powering the Climate Generation.
The Young Climate Action Network Global (YOUCAN Global) is a global, youth-led, non-governmental and non-partisan organization dedicated to advancing climate action, environmental sustainability and environmental justice.
Founded to bring young people together around the urgency of the climate crisis, YOUCAN Global works through climate education, policy advocacy, grassroots engagement, youth leadership, research, partnerships and collective action.
We believe that addressing the climate crisis requires more than individual action. It requires informed communities, meaningful youth participation, evidence-based policies, accountable institutions and cooperation across borders. YOUCAN exists to help build that collective strength. Because we beleive, YOUCAN change the world.
