We are empowering people and organizations to build a more inclusive society and a greener economy

People of 2050 is a Danish non-profit started by a group of students in the MSc in Climate Change at Copenhagen University. Our mission is to build a just and inclusive society with zero carbon emissions while bringing our small contribution to reaching EU's goal of carbon neutrality by 2050. 🌍🤗💰

Let's join forces and be the People of 2050 together!

What a Monday evening! 🌱
We wrapped up the Switch to ECO project the best way we could think of: Bringing people together at Station for an evening of learning, reflecting and good food.

Our project manager Alejandro introduced the Switch to ECO app and it was so nice to see people downloading it on the spot 👀 Small steps, but that's exactly how habits change.
Curious about the app? Download links in bio 👆

Our project assistant Lisa then took things to a more personal place, guiding everyone through reflective activities on eco-anxiety, greenwashing and how to turn those heavy climate feelings into something you can actually act on. The room was open, honest and really engaged. Those are the evenings that remind us why we do this. 💫

We ended with plant-based pizzas and good conversations because every good event needs that. 🍕😉

A big thank you to Tuborgfondet for making this happen and to everyone who showed up!

Last week, we successfully wrapped up the 3rd Transnational Partners Meeting (TPM) for the RISE UP project right here in Copenhagen! 🇩🇰✨

Together with our amazing partners, our mission with RISE UP is to equip future academics and scientists with the skills, creativity, and motivation to actively tackle the climate crisis through social-ecological action, building resilience, and driving positive change. 🌍💡

This hybrid 3rd TPM provided a comprehensive deep dive into all Work Packages. Here is a quick look at what we achieved together:
🔹 Aligned on financial and reporting timelines 📈
🔹 Confirmed that all project Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) have been successfully achieved!
🔹 Pushed forward on our assessment tools and dissemination strategies 🛠️
🔹 Outlined the upcoming Hackathons guide and joined a stakeholder engagement workshop led by ACEEU to brainstorm our audience's needs. 🧠

With the consortium fully aligned, we are so excited and ready to move forward with the next steps of the project, continuing our mission of Resilience, Innovation, and University Student Empowerment through reflective Climate Education and Action. 🚀🌱

As part of RURAL 2.0, we’re creating 12 short training videos to equip rural young people with practical tools for participation and community change.

The fourth video, led by ECOS, is:
𝗛𝗼𝘄 𝘁𝗼 𝗔𝗱𝘃𝗼𝗰𝗮𝘁𝗲 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗖𝗵𝗮𝗻𝗴𝗲 𝗶𝗻 𝗥𝘂𝗿𝗮𝗹 𝗖𝗼𝗺𝗺𝘂𝗻𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗲𝘀

Participation is powerful, but sometimes it is not enough. This module focuses on how rural youth can 𝗮𝗱𝘃𝗼𝗰𝗮𝘁𝗲 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗰𝗵𝗮𝗻𝗴𝗲 𝘄𝗵𝗲𝗻 𝗱𝗲𝗰𝗶𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀 𝗻𝗲𝗲𝗱 𝘁𝗼 𝗯𝗲 𝗶𝗻𝗳𝗹𝘂𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲𝗱, 𝗰𝗵𝗮𝗹𝗹𝗲𝗻𝗴𝗲𝗱, 𝗼𝗿 𝗶𝗺𝗽𝗿𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗱. Participants will learn how rural development policies are shaped, how to turn community needs into clear proposals, and how to work strategically with authorities to achieve concrete results.

Advocacy is presented as a democratic tool that complements participation — not replaces it. The module introduces advocacy as a 𝗽𝗹𝗮𝗻𝗻𝗲𝗱, 𝗲𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗰𝗮𝗹, 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗰𝗼𝗹𝗹𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗰𝗲𝘀𝘀, preparing participants for deeper learning in later videos on negotiation, digital advocacy, and community organizing.

More videos are on the way as we complete the full 12-video training series.

We're a week through our time in Hopeland, Greece as part of Into the Blue 🐋 - a journey for young people ready to reconnect with nature and take action for our planet 🌍

So far every day has brought something new: grounding, challenging and inspiring all at once. A walk around the community to see how Hopeland actually lives sustainably... A terraced garden using mulch from local olive trees, compost made from daily waste... And honestly, it was a good reminder that it doesn't have to be complicated. Small, aware choices that add up. 🍃

From there we went deep. We explored the connection between Inner Development Goals and Sustainable Development Goals - how our own growth as people is tied to the bigger picture. We talked about the link between emotions, skills and action when it comes to environmental work. And we had an honest conversation about EcoAnxiety - what it actually is, why so many of us feel it, and how we can work through it rather than around it.

Still couple of days ahead and we look forward to sharing more insights🌿

As part of CTRL+ALT+NATURE, together with teachers and youth workers from across Europe, we're building games and workshops that make young people actually want to engage with climate change.🌍

Last week, we implemented our Geopolitics of Climate Change workshop - a simulation of a real UN Climate Conference of the Parties - where participants step into the shoes of world leaders, negotiate, debate and yes, things got heated.💥💥

The room was full of energy, big discussions and a lot of fun. 💫

A huge shout out to Bandana who facilitated the workshop and she absolutely nailed it. 🙌._

We are off to Italy 🤩! 🇮🇹

Next week, we’re heading to the mountains in Recoaro Terme to empower 27 youth workers from 9 different organizations. Our mission? Mastering the art of game-based learning in the great outdoors. 🌿

We'll be hosting workshops and together with the participants explore how to bridge the gap between digital tools and natural environments. We aim to create learning experiences that are inclusive, participatory, and environmentally responsible. It’s all about taking action for a more sustainable future in youth work.

Stay tuned for updates from the trail! ✨

As part of RURAL 2.0, we’re creating 12 short training videos to equip rural young people with practical tools for participation and community change.

The third video, led by ECOS, is:
Youth Engagement in Local and National Governance

This module focuses on how young people can participate directly in democratic decision-making in their communities. It introduces governance as a space youth can enter, shape, and belong to - not only influence from outside. Participants will learn how local and national governance systems function, where decisions are made, and what formal and informal mechanisms exist for youth participation.

The module highlights the unique strengths rural youth bring to governance and explores why their presence inside institutions is essential for democratic legitimacy, inclusion, and long-term sustainability.

The module also introduces the role of rural youth as democratic actors in contexts vulnerable to exclusion, disinformation, and disengagement. Rather than focusing on campaigns or pressure, it emphasizes participation as a way to strengthen democracy from within, through representation, dialogue, and co-decision.
More videos are on the way as we complete the full 12-video training series.
