🌍 Young people are not waiting for the future. They are already shaping it.

In classrooms, communities, organizations, and movements around the world, young people are challenging injustice, creating new solutions, and building more peaceful and sustainable societies.

On International Youth Day, we celebrate their ideas, courage, and determination. At UPEACE, we are proud to learn alongside emerging peacebuilders and help them turn their commitment into meaningful action.

Today, we celebrate the young people asking difficult questions, imagining what is possible, and refusing to believe that change must wait.

🌍 The climate crisis is not only an environmental issue. It is a question of justice, human rights, development, and who gets left behind.

From rising temperatures to displacement, food insecurity, and unequal access to resources, today's environmental challenges are deeply interconnected.

This online course will help professionals, students, and changemakers understand those connections and develop practical tools to respond more effectively.
