YOUth LEADing Australia! (YLA)

Background

12 Local Youth Climate Action Congresses Linked Nationally

23-25 November 2010

YOUth LEADing Australia is a national youth climate action congress that will run simultaneously in 12 locations around Australia 23-25 November.

OzGREEN launched YLA in November 2009, bringing together 500 young people aged 10-30 years, in 7 locations across Australia. Together they learnt about sustainability challenges such as climate change, food, energy and water; they met with local sustainability champions; and they shared success stories, challenges, actions and inspiration with each other through digital media and social networking technology. YOUth LEADing Australia will bring together thousands of young people to develop shared voice, vision and action to tackle the biggest challenges of our times.

The congresses will be based on OzGREEN’s inspiring sustainability in action process that focuses on 3 ways to make a difference:

• Personal responsibility to live sustainably;

• Creating community change;

• Connecting change makers nationally.
