Youth and Environment Europe (YEE)
Youth and Environment Europe is a federation of regional, national, and local self-governing youth organizations concerned with the study and conservation of the environment. All our activities are organized and carried out by young people under 30 years of age. YEE organizes and encourages all that might increase the knowledge, understanding, and appreciation of nature and the awareness of environmental problems among young people in Europe . Its aim is to promote the commitment of youth to the principles of environmental conservation. Young people must be stimulated to engage in voluntary actions for the protection and rational use of the Earth's resources. Since environmental problems do not accept any borders, we act together within YEE to implement our ideas in local groups and in joint activities. On the international level, we intend to raise public awareness and to put pressure on enterprises and politicians.
YEE supports the work of member organizations by promoting the widest possible exchange of information, ideas, and experience among them, through publications and European training courses (e.g.: sustainable development, energy, climate change, etc.). YEE also coordinates the activities of member organizations by promoting direct cooperation between individuals on topics of mutual interest through European working groups and by organizing joint actions and campaigns on environmental issues of European importance.
