1-5 September 2025: The study session “Uniting for a Safer Europe: Empowering Environmental Defenders and Climate Activists”, organised by Youth and Environment Europe (YEE) in collaboration with the Youth Department of the Council of Europe brings together 23 passionate young environmental defenders from 13 Council of Europe member states and 5 team members for a 5-day educational programme.

Together, the group dives into the challenges, risks, and opportunities faced by those who stand up for our planet.

The activity provides a platform for young people who are actively engaged in grassroots environmental and climate justice activism to strengthen their knowledge, share experiences, and explore protection mechanisms available to them.
