Knowledge-Sharing
We connect young people with scientists, experts, and knowledge-holders to build a strong knowledge-base among young people globally. Our by-youth, for-youth knowledge-sharing creates space for young leaders to exchange information, ideas and hope, supporting a more diversified understanding of the nature-climate nexus.
Knowledge-sharing takes many forms. Find more about our podcast, blog, and events below.
Podcast:
بالنسبة للمناطق الصحراوية الشاسعة في غرب آسيا، فإن تخضير الصحراء هو الإجراء الأكثر شيوعًا لمكافحة أزمة المناخ، وخفض درجات الحرارة المحلية، وتحسين سبل العيش. على الرغم من أن هذا يمثل فرص من نواح كثيرة، إلا أن هناك أيضًا العديد من المخاوف بشأن زراعة الأشجار أحادية النوع وعلاقتها بالحلول المستندة على الطبيعة. ناقشت ضيفتنا أمل عنبر وريان في هذه الحلقة:
لماذا الصحارى موجودة -
معايير تخضير الصحراء لتتناسب مع NbS -
مخاوف الاستدامة من تخضير الصحراء -

The Palestinian struggle is at the center of all colonization projects and climate injustices happening in West Asia. Colonization forcefully removes land rights from Indigenous communities, deprives them from natural resources, and destroys Indigenous biodiversity and cultural connection with nature, all while purposefully polluting and harming nature and the climate. Listen to our third and final episode of this series of #TheAjyalPodcast to hear youth perspectives on the intersection of Palestinian rights and climate action.
Have you ever considered the difficulty and challenges that youth face in West Asia to push for climate justice? Tune in and hear what our youth guests Ala and Lama have to say about militarization and climate movements in Syria and Yemen. Learn more about this episode here!
Knowledge-Sharing on the Blog:
At present, climate and biodiversity planning, financing and solutions across the world are highly dependent on these UN processes, as well as on regional, national and local politics, including the ideologies and agendas of those in power and of those able to influence that power. The resulting agreements, commitments, policies and laws from these processes determine steps taken, both directly through government implementation and indirectly by encouraging or discouraging community and civil action.
Climate mobility is already shaping our generation. The stories we tell about it matter, because they can change how we respond. When young people share what they see and what they build—whether it’s planting trees, protecting water sources, or rebuilding after storms—they remind us that resilience is not a slogan, it’s something we practice together.
Asking young professionals working in forestry and forest-related sectors, “What is your dream for forests in America in the next five years?” brought answers full of inspiration, personality, and imagination at the 9th American Forest Congress.
Past Knowledge-Sharing Events:
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 to learn about examples of community and multi-stakeholder leadership that is advancing NbS across Africa and the Americas.
We are excited to gather with friends of WAT-GP and Youth4Nature for a small pre-COP training & networking session.
Join Y4N Global Ambassador, Dashania, for the second week of YOUNGO Nature’s Biodiversity Academy - Deep dive into Nature-based Solutions and youth-led initiatives! 🌳
Join Y4N Global Ambassador, Ayadi, for the first week of YOUNGO Nature’s Biodiversity Academy - Navigating the UN Rio Conventions! 🌳
We are excited to bring Faces of Forestry to the first-ever Toronto Climate Week! 🙌🌎 Join us for a special screening of our newest Faces Of Forestry series, to take in “My Ancestors' Footsteps & the Land Here”, a portrait and storytelling series by Maggie Chang, and to engage in discussions about storytelling for change! 📣🌿
We need to drop fossil fuels asap! But wait? What would happen to the livelihoods and economies that have depended on this for so long? How fast can they adapt to the change? What about those that are importing fossil fuels? Are they responsible as well? Tune in to this episode to hear what Neeshad and Rayan have to say about the supply and demand of fossil fuels and its relation to climate justice in West Asia and beyond.
