THE FORUM

Why The Forum?

At Young Travelers, one of the cross-cutting pillars of our work is the environment. In this sense, we have designed and organized an international forum with young people from Argentina, Brazil, Colombia, Chile and Mexico to allow representatives from each country to investigate, discuss and propose the issues they consider most important in the fight against climate change.

What is The Forum?

It is a space where young people can research, share, propose and discuss the most important milestones in climate change through a blog and virtual forums where cities and nations can exchange best practices and environmental proposals for different actors (governments, universities, civil society, companies, etc.).

Themes may vary according to global climatic situations and the cycle of the Forum, although generally topics such as: reforestation, carbon credits, greenhouse gases, proposals for the fight against Climate Change, among others, are discussed.

OUR GOAL:

Articulate the initiatives, ideas and proposals of young people regarding the climate crisis, directing them to the authorities, companies and civil society.

SPECIFIC GOALS:

Establish a virtual blog to publish research and proposals from young people on the fight against climate change.
Hold virtual forums (meetings) where young people from different cities and nations share their concerns, perspectives, good practices and proposals in the fight against climate change.
Unify and address the concerns and proposals of young people to authorities and influential actors on climate change.
To support the fulfillment of the SDGs and contribute to the construction of a more developed, inclusive and sustainable society.

The volunteers come from different backgrounds: Law, Psychology, Politics, International Relations, Biology, Business, Business Administration, Journalism, Environmental Engineering, Chemical Engineering, among others.
