Nordic Youth Biodiversity Network
- NYBN -
NYBN is the Nordic chapter of the Global Youth Biodiversity Network (GYBN), an international network of youth organizations and individuals from every global region who have united together with a common goal:
Halting and reversing the biodiversity crisis.
As the official coordination platform for youth in the negotiations under the United Nations Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD), NYBN is committed to bringing the perspectives of young people into the political process and empowering young people to take action.
What we do
We have created a position paper on Biodiversity based on a survey we did where 3000 Nordic young people contributed to a Youth Position Paper with 19 action points to save biodiversity. We use it to push decision makers around the world to prioritize young people’s biodiversity demands!
