Our Work
Working together for a better more sustainable future
Youth Climate Ambassadors for Wales is dedicated to making a difference through our various initiatives. Explore our recent projects and learn how we are striving to create lasting change.
Education & Outreach
We educate peers on climate change and inspire action. In July, we learned what changes young people want at the Changemakers conference in Cardiff. On October 13, we are hosting a Sustainable Fashion Show and Clothes Swap with the Young Peace Ambassadors to raise awareness about fast fashion and offer sustainable alternatives.
Climate Refugees
On July the 6th 2023 we launched a petition, on the steps of the senedd, to the UK government calling on them to recognise climate refugees as refugees in UK law. After working with MPs, MS’ and businesses we achieved 778 signatures with support across the whole of the UK.
COP 26
YCA attended COP26 in Glasgow, engaging with both blue and green zones. We hosted an event emphasizing youth voices in climate action, met with the climate change minister, and heard from Wampís nation representatives about incorporating traditional methods for sustainability. The sense of community with activists of all ages was inspiring, particularly during the Fridays for Future march with 10,000 attendees. It was a great opportunity to learn and connect.
