Young Friends of the Earth Europe

Young FoEE is a grassroots network of young people and youth organisations working together on social and environmental justice issues. We work collectively on a local, national and European level, to inspire other young people, organise great actions and events and get lots of attention in the media, in politics and amongst the general public on what we think as young people in Europe.

If you want to get involved in Young FoEE, or a Young FoE or FoE group in your country, and want the skills, knowledge and experience to help you do so, then get in touch!

Taking Action!

Young FoEE has been taking action on climate change as their main focus since 2007.

In 2009 we ran our Act Now project, as part of a Youth In Action Youth Democracy Project, which brought together young activists from across Europe to demand immediate action for climate justice, in the lead up to the UN climate change conference in Copenhagen, December 2009. You can follow our activities throughout 2009 on the blog: www.actnow09.eu

Young FoEE's Climate Justice campaign is set to continue in 2010, where we will once again be taking action alongside the UNFCCC climate negotiations, running workshops at our 2010 summer camp in August, and launching a network action and toolkit in the autumn.

All our camapign activities are organised by working groups of volunteers. If you want to join a working group, get in touch to find out how.
