There is power in narrative. Stories are a fundamentally human way of communicating, and they can transcend language, culture, and locality barriers. We understand this, just as we understand that young people are leading the global movement for addressing the climate and nature crises through storytelling.

Join us for a participatory workshop, co-hosted by GYBN, YOUNGO, and Y4N, to launch an update of the Global Youth Position Statement on Nature-based Solutions (NbS), highlighting new findings from youth consultations worldwide.

Join us as we highlight how youth-led storytelling, policy advocacy, and climate mobility evidence can be scaled and integrated into global adaptation finance systems —especially under the Green Climate Fund (GCF).

Join us for a storytelling exhibition that spotlights stories from youth - especially those from Indigenous, frontline, displaced and Global South communities - as key actors in implementation, moving us from the margins to the mainstream of climate and biodiversity action. 

We invite young researchers, campaigners, entrepreneurs, artists, and community leaders engaged in sustainable nature-based projects and practices to attend this interactive and creative session on the importance of sharing their stories and how to craft a compelling narrative.

Join us to learn about examples of community and multi-stakeholder leadership that is advancing NbS across Africa and the Americas.
