Youth Climate Lab Youth mobilizing youth to create just, climate-resilient futures. https://linktr.ee/youthclimatelab

Youth-for-youth lab dedicated to supporting and creating innovative projects for climate action.

--
Our vision is to foster rapid, human-centric economic and social change by providing young climate leaders the support and funding they need to create projects and businesses that make enduring changes that help the world address climate change. We work with governments, businesses, civil society and international organizations to identify, design and pilot new ideas for effective climate action. We focus on delivering a range of programs that have demonstrated potential to stimulate climate innovation and creating strategies & tools to make it easier to get involved in climate action.

New Resource Alert! 📢⁠
⁠
We're excited to share the Demystifying Climate Adaptation Module, developed by the Youth4Youth team at Dalhousie University's College of Sustainability in partnership with Youth Climate Lab. Created over eight months of research, design, writing, and community feedback, this youth-centred learning resource explores climate adaptation through multiple lenses, including climate data, policy, eco-grief, environmental racism, decolonial approaches, and advocacy.⁠
⁠
The module supports young people in building the knowledge, confidence, and skills needed to engage with climate resilience in their communities.⁠

What happens when youth climate advocates come together to talk food, justice, adaptation, and community? This zine!

Created by participants in YCL’s inaugural cohort of The Collective, Climate Adaptation at the Kitchen Table brings together stories, reflections, art, and research on everything from climate emotions and food sovereignty to foraging, food security, and the ingredients in your favourite bowl of chilli.

Over eight months, participants learned from one another, shared ideas, and explored what climate justice looks like in their communities. Now, we’re excited to share these conversations with you.

Get to know the partner organizations joining us tomorrow, June 23, 2–3 PM ET for our BC Climate Adaptation Workshop!

In this interactive learning space, we'll explore how climate justice shows up across the realms of fire stewardship, food systems, community care, and community energy. 🌲

Sacred Earth is an Indigenous women-led organization dedicated to advancing a just transition for Indigenous communities aiming to reduce dependency on fossil fuels and build resilience in the face of climate change. The seasoned team works in solidarity with Indigenous Nations who are at the frontlines of ongoing struggle against extractivism and climate change, as well as healing justice, language revitalization, and cultural resilience.

The Canadian Prescribed Fire Training Program (CPFTP) is a national initiative co-developed by the University of British Columbia's Okanagan campus and the Weston Family Foundation, supported by Regional Leads and partners across Canada. CPFTP's work is organized across five regions, ensuring training is informed by local ecological conditions while aligned through shared national standards. Its mission is to build understanding and advance the safe, effective use of prescribed fire through specialized training.
