Youth volunteers accelerate green solutions at the grassroots
Achieving a green, just and sustainable future doesn’t always entail creating from scratch. Sometimes it’s about fostering innovation based on what already exists. But how can we map, analyze and scale-up those solutions? One way is through youth volunteers.
Representing over 160 million people in Latin America and the Caribbean, youth bring the abilities, ideas and determination to overcome the triple planetary crisis – loss of biodiversity, pollution and climate change. Volunteerism is a means for utilizing those skills, while accelerating and increasing their scope of action.
