Loss and Damage Youth Coalition is made up of 1000+ youths in more than 100 countries. Its mission is to build a borderless global partnership between youth, to take action on addressing loss and damage.
This is the coalition of youths from the global North and South who have come together to demand action to address the loss and damage caused by climate change.
The like-minded youths share a ‘dream World’, where the impacts of loss and damage get addressed equitably. A world where developed countries take responsibility for their outsize contribution to the climate crisis by treating loss and damage with a sense of urgency. A world where we honor the rights of future generations to a safe climate.
