The Youth for Just Transition (Y4JT) aims to further the youth agenda in battling climate change and advocating for a just transition in the Philippines.
The Philippines typically experiences twenty (20) tropical cyclones a year—ranking as the highest disaster risk by the World Risk Report 2022 by Germany-based Bündnis Entwicklung Hilft and the Institute for International Law of Peace and Armed Conflict at Ruhr University Bochum (IFHV), an annual report calculating the disaster risk of 193 countries. The increasing extremeness of climate disasters signals a need to shift towards more sustainable systems in the country.

It provides a new avenue for young people to understand their intersectionalities with climate and social justice as it pushes for climate solutions that are democratic and just.

Through bonfire chats, tent discussions, and community storytelling, the group mapped out the youth agenda, detailing opportunities for climate action collaboration and a just transition roadmap.
This year, as part of the campaign to address the climate crisis, Y4JT will once again gather young individuals from for the Y4JT Youth Camp on the 10th - 13th November 2022 at Mt Purro Nature Reserve, Antipolo, Rizal.

Our aim is to discuss Just Transition, its intersectionalities, and relevance in addressing the impacts of the climate crisis. The main goal of the activity is to brainstorm possible youth-led and youth-driven real and sustainable solutions that will:
