GreenAct

The GreenACT Project is a youth-led initiative in Athens, Greece, aimed at raising environmental awareness among young people across six European countries. Supported by the Youth Climate Action Fund (YCAF), which is backed by Bloomberg Philanthropies in partnership with the City of Athens, the project empowers youth to actively engage in climate action within their communities.

The GreenACT project aims to empower the young generation in Athens to take a leading role in the fight against climate change. Through a series of activities including workshops, debates, podcasts and youth led dialogues, young people will have the opportunity to develop creative initiatives and become actively involved in tackling the climate crisis, with a particular focus on climate justice, social equity and mental health.
