Youth are the ones who live longest with the consequences of today’s decisions.

At #COP30, youth of European climate movement stand up for intergenerational justice — echoing the ICJ ruling that ambitious climate action is a legal duty, not a political choice.

Our future & planet are not for sale!

📹 YEE LIVE FROM #cop30
Currently on the first contact group negotiation for the Just Transition Work Programme, we are very excited to see the support that G77+China are giving to the BAM! Hope that the EU and the rest of Global North countries follow suit in supporting it too

Ten years after Paris, only 3% of climate finance supports #JustTransition policies.
1,000 organisations call for a #JustTransition that makes climate work for the people who live its consequences.

WHERE'S YOUR AMBITION?

In 2023 nations agreed to move away from fossil fuels.

Now leaders of rich countries aren’t even offering to do the bare minimum. None have committed to phasing out fossil fuels.

Vulnerable hormonal systems + Unrealistic beauty standards + Lack of awareness = Need for regulation of the Endocrine-Disrupting Chemicals!

#COP30 in Brazil must be the turning point. The EU & the Global North must own up to their responsibility.

📣 On 14–15 Nov, we will take to the streets all around the world to #DrawTheLine.

Most chemical safety regulations still ignore the fact that we are simultaneously exposed to a mixture of hundreds of substances from various sources.

Mélinda Martins represented YEE at the Pan-European Climate Resilience Summit in Vienna. 🌍 She shared how youth networks are key to driving climate action.

It's incredibly inspiring to see science, policy, and youth voices unite for a common goal. We're so proud of her!

The struggle for a livable planet is inseparable from the struggle for human rights and dignity.

As climate advocates, we cannot be neutral in the face of genocide and systemic oppression. We stand with Palestine and denounce attacks on civic space and youth voices across Europe. Justice and liberation are essential to climate justice.

The ICJ’s decision on July 23 can redefine international obligations, making it clear that polluters cannot evade responsibility.

It will mark a turning point where legal clarity can push for systemic change and for the protection of future generations.

Una de las tendencias más preocupantes son las SLAPP (demandas estratégicas contra la participación pública): un arma jurídica utilizada por grandes empresas para silenciar y desgastar a activistas, periodistas y organizaciones ambientales, sociales o económicas

What if the Grand Duchess Charlotte had been silenced? 🤐
This morning, we gagged the statue of the Grand Duchess Charlotte to denounce the growing number of SLAPPs – abusive lawsuits used to silence us.
📣 We stand with all those fighting for democracy across Europe today.

Last week, our representatives Lizzie and Sophia attended the Wolves Across Borders Conference 🐺

During the conference, they explored human-wolf coexistence.

They highlighted how vital youth perspectives are in shaping long-term conservation strategies.

The climate, pollution & biodiversity crisis is harming our health, says Denis Fernando of @friends-earth.bsky.social

At next week's @coe.int meeting, Ministers must support a binding instrument legally protecting the right to a #HealthyEnvironmentForAll - foundational to all human rights!

A liveable future for young people & children is a right, not a luxury!

As CRIN's Niamh Purcell says, legal protection of the right to a healthy environment would prove the @coe.int is serious about youth & climate justice.

Ministers in Luxembourg, we count on your allyship!
