Youth Climate Lab Information

Youth Climate Lab (YCL) is a Canada-based, global non-profit organization of youth mobilizing youth to create just, climate-resilient futures. We equip youth with skills, financial access and policy knowledge to take leadership in the climate movement. This work is realized through the design of innovative tools, programs, and spaces. Headquartered on the traditional unceded territory of the Algonquin nation (known as Ottawa, Canada), Youth Climate Lab was founded in May 2017 to support and strengthen the next generation of leaders to shake up the status quo of climate inaction. Since then, we’ve worked with 30+ partners around the globe to design and pilot projects that have reached thousands of young people in more than 77 countries.
