From climate apathy to local action
How do we move from feeling powerless to creating real change in our cities? That is at the heart of Y-RESCUE.
As part of a strong European network, with partners including Station, European Youth Parliament (EYP) and Youth and Environment Europe (YEE),
we equip 300 young leaders with the knowledge and tools to tackle the most urgent climate challenges.
We bridge the gap between big ambitions and concrete solutions that make our urban environments more resilient — led by you and your generation.
Y-RESCUE: Young leaders at the forefront of urban climate resilience
Y-RESCUE is a new initiative that empowers 300 young people aged 18-30 with the tools, knowledge and community to turn climate anxiety into action. Together with partners across Europe, they are developing pilot projects that create concrete solutions in cities - and that can be scaled and replicated in other communities.
100% for the Children is one of the organizations behind Y-RESCUE, Youth for Resilient Cities and Urban Environments, because we work to ensure that children and young people in vulnerable urban areas are not forgotten, but are given a voice and real influence in climate action. Climate change affects children the most, and that is why it is crucial that young people are involved in finding and driving the solutions.
FOUR PATHWAYS TO CLIMATE ACTION
Y-RESCUE gives you the tools, network, and platform to make a real difference in your local community.
European Youth Perspectives on Urban Climate Resilience
How do young people in Europe experience the climate crisis in their cities – and what do they believe needs to be done to make cities more resilient, just, and sustainable?
This report gathers firsthand insights from over 200 young Europeans on urban climate resilience. It shows how young people are already feeling the consequences of climate change, such as extreme heat, floods, air pollution, and drought in their daily lives — but also how they wish to contribute to solutions. The report points to the need for greener urban spaces, better access to climate knowledge, more support for youth-led initiatives, and genuine inclusion of young people in local decisions.
