D7.4: Awareness-Raising Videos
Discover our collection of short videos showcasing the key goals, activities, and outcomes of the Y4JT project. Featuring participants, partner organizations, and stakeholders, these videos highlight the importance of youth involvement in the just transition process and climate action.
Hear directly from young leaders and experts as they discuss how Y4JT empowers youth to shape climate policies, drive sustainable development, and support a fair shift to renewable energy. Each video offers insights into the project's local and international impact.
D7.5: Climate Action events
Climate Action Events are organized in public spaces across partner countries to raise awareness about climate issues and share the results of the Y4JT project. Each event includes activities such as greening public spaces, beach clean-ups, organic cooking workshops, and green tours. These events engage local communities and highlight the importance of sustainable practices and youth involvement in the transition to renewable energy.
D7.6: Policy Recommendation
This policy recommendation synthesizes the findings of the Youth for a Just Transition (Y4JT) project. Drawing from extensive youth consultations in Greece, Denmark, Romania, Spain and Lithuania (Deliverables D2.2, D3.2, D4.2, D5.2, D6.2), it outlines the role of youth in shaping their countries’ transitions and responding to the climate crisis. The document identifies opportunities, challenges, and actionable recommendations to embed youth voices in EU and national Just Transition frameworks. By dedicating substantial space to each country’s perspective, cross-country analysis, best practices, and policy recommendations, this report provides a comprehensive roadmap for empowering youth as changemakers in Europe’s path to climate neutrality.
D7.7: “Earth Dialogue” public debate events
Each partner country hosts an Earth Dialogue public debate, showcasing the objectives and results of the Y4JT project. Expert panels include representatives from academia, industry, government, and civil society. The debates present the project's policy recommendation on youth involvement in the just transition, with discussions on climate action and renewable energy. These events engage researchers, policymakers, NGOs, and local communities, providing insights into EU climate and youth engagement policies.
