Expanding the space for youth and activism in CAN Europe

CAN Europe increased the provision of training and participation for young activists, who were instrumental in increasing the pressure on Loss and Damage around COP27.

“We are gradually building a dynamic space for effective collaboration with young activists. This strengthens their activism and our work ” Samuel Martín-Sosa, Senior Network Development Coordinator

CAN Europe held several meetings with young mobilisers with whom we shared some of our policy work (climate finance, industry, etc.). The team developed a training programme for young activists on advocacy towards EU institutions, campaigning and communication.

We involved young activists in our work towards COP27, including through a video on Loss and Damage to EU Finance Ministers, participation in a climate justice camp and mobilisations in Sharm El-Sheikh, where the climate summit was held.
