Planet Youth’s Post

🌍 Honored to be participating in United People Global 's Monthly Family Gathering! 🌍 Right now, I’m engaged in a United Voices session focused on "Children: Safeguard & Empower these World Changers." We’re discussing how, as a global community, we can nurture the potential of our children and ensure safe spaces for their growth and development. This topic is especially meaningful when considering the impact of climate change on education in remote areas. Many students are forced to study in inadequate conditions, where poor infrastructure and climate-related challenges make learning even more difficult. Addressing these issues is essential if we want to create a sustainable, equitable future for all children. Together, we’re working towards solutions that can empower young minds, even in the most challenging environments. 🌱✨ #UnitedPeopleGlobal #ChildEmpowerment #ClimateChange #EducationForAll #SustainableFuture #MakeADifference

Theirworld’s Justin van Fleet tells Citizen Zero about the organisation’s Act for Early Years campaign and explains why it’s important to invest early to prepare an entire generation of young people for the future. He tells us: “Act for Early Years is about making governments understand that if they invest in this most fundamental of needs they're giving every young person the opportunity to contribute to society, participate in the economy, nurture their own families, manage challenges like climate change and so much more” Read the full interview here: https://lnkd.in/eiQWSh8w #ActforEarlyYears #EarlyYears #Theirworld #earlychildhooddevelopment #education #sustainabledevelopment #sustainableeducation #educationforall #TheirWorld #CitizenZero#

With an intergenerational and interfaith panel of stakeholders, we reflected on how communities around the world utilize empathy and compassion in action to achieve the human right to a safer, more equitable, and peaceful world that leaves no one behind. Watch on to see how we can foster a connection between the past, present, and future, empowering youth and drawing on best practices to effectively create a peaceful world for all. #ClimateWeek #NGOs #ClimateWeekNYC

Many youth have concerns about the world they will inherit, but members of EcoRise's Youth Climate Councils have found ways to combat their anxiety by taking action, finding community, and creating intergenerational support.

We spoke to Earth Guardians - What is the main aim of Earth Guardians? To train and empower diverse youth to become leaders capable of driving intersectional climate justice solutions. - How are young people involved in this initiative? Our Crews program provides resources, such as educational guides, training, campaigns, networking, grants, and mentorship, to guide youth in leading climate justice projects in their communities. We then amplify their work to our global network so they can inspire and scale their work with others. - How does Earth Guardians' work benefit the youth? Our strategy is to build agency/leadership, community, and non-violent direct action skills within our youth to give them the tools they need to create the future they want to see. Our work benefits youth because we don't tell them what they need; we listen and provide them with what they need to make positive change extending beyond the climate crisis. - What are the short-term and long-term goals of this initiative? The short term is to continue to expand our crews by recruiting more people of any age, location, or crew size to join our program and start to take action utilizing our resources. Our Crews stretch across six continents and have done work from reforesting 40,000 mangroves to suing the US government for climate change effects to training 100 women in Odisha in beekeeping and gardening. Our long-term goal is to have the impact our Crews make solve the climate crisis and create a positive future where we all thrive because inequities for people and the planet have been solved. We have a generation of elders (our current youth) teaching other generations how to solve future conflicts with the same values of benefiting people and the planet #InternationalYouthDay2024 #YouthEmpowerment #SustainableDevelopment #DigitalTransformation #FutureLeaders

🏡 This week on International Day of Families (15 May), we joined and celebrated Social Cohesion: the thread that weaves societies together. It is an essential tool to address common societal challenges as climate change. Who else is out there raising awareness of issues relating to families and to increase knowledge of the social, economic, and demographic processes affecting families? Family life is changing. There is no longer one predominant enduring family form. Rethinking what it means to be a family is a personal choice. More on empowering families through education, changing consumption habits, and advocacy this year’s theme can be found on United Nations site. https://lnkd.in/d4RBbUG #socialcohesion #society #family #relationships #education #awarenessraising

Today's children are tomorrow's changemakers, yet their futures face significant challenges. With over 250 million children still out of school worldwide, it is paramount that nations focus their resources on ensuring that quality education is a right enjoyed by all children regardless of regional conflicts, climate disasters, and social inequalities. We must act now. This year's theme, Listen to the Future, urges us to hear children's voices and let their ideas inform today’s decisions. Let’s honor their voices and create a world where every child is free to dream, lead, and shape a brighter, more inclusive, and sustainable future. 🙏 Together, we can turn urgency into action and possibilities into realities.💙 #WorldChildrensDay #ListenToTheFuture

“The Earth is not just a planet we inhabit; it’s the common thread that unites us all. Embracing our collective duty to safeguard our environment, we must amplify the voices of communities and the youth. Through the lens of Social and Behavioral Change, it’s evident that local solutions, crafted with the insights of Behavioral Science and participatory methods, hold the key to genuine progress. Let’s move beyond the confines of high-level meetings and workshops to ignite grassroots transformation. This 🌱 #WorldEnvironmentDay, let’s pledge to turn #ClimateAction into a movement powered by the people, for the planet #SBCWorks
