The young people in Europe set on leading the climate generation

date:  02/03/2023

Young people around the world are increasingly using their voice to demand climate action. In October, we met European Climate Pact Ambassador Sofie Winge-Petersen – a Danish engineering student and social entrepreneur who has found a way to make the paint industry more environmentally friendly. This month, we meet fellow Ambassador Olivia Mandle – a 15-year-old activist from Spain who is taking action in her community and inspiring young people across Europe to protect the oceans, fight climate change, and safeguard the planet for future generations.

Also this month, we:

  • meet two more inspiring young Ambassadors who empower their communities on climate action
  • learn how organisations are pledging to educate youth about climate change and help them connect with nature
  • share how you can nominate your city to be considered for the EU Green City Awards 2023.
