Youth Advocacy School: Environmental Health and Climate Change

December 2, 2022

Our four-day advocacy school was carried out with the aim of empowering young people, who are interested in the field of environmental health and climate change, and who see and strive for changes in this field. 25 participants from 13 different countries, with different professional backgrounds, worked together on finding possible solutions in order to save the planet from major man-made disasters and extreme weather events. External speakers working at WHO Europe also contributed to the event, enriching the content with their knowledge and experience.

The result of the event is a trio of youth Policy Statements, which were created during the training and a group of new, properly equipped and trained youth advocates.
