CLIMentines
Empowering Youth for Climate Action
The CLIMentines project is a pioneering initiative aimed at fostering a new generation of young, environmentally conscious and politically active Europeans. They will be equipped with the knowledge, skills and tools to actively engage in climate action policies both nationally and at the European level. Participants will be empowered to take a stand in the global dialogue on climate action and democratic participation.
The project unites seven organizations across six European countries to build a robust transnational network dedicated to climate action.
