What is the Youth Education Alliance – YEA!

The Youth and Education Alliance (YEA!) works with both higher education and youth networks from around the world to increase environmental awareness and education among students and young people to accelerate the environmental changes that urgently need to be made in this decade.

The goal is to inspire higher education institutions across the globe to integrate sustainability and environmental best practices into their curricula, civics and across their campuses while also raising the profile of higher education as change agents.
