Connecting young people with biodiversity policy and decision-making
Embedded Files
We are working for a resilient, inclusive, and interconnected UK where ecosystems are restored and biodiversity is thriving locally, nationally, and globally. A future where people see themselves as part of nature and live and work in harmony with it.
About Us
About Us
We are a chapter of the Global Youth Biodiversity Network (gybn.org) aiming to engage more young people across the UK in biodiversity policy by providing a platform for youth engagement!
GYBN is the official youth coordination platform for the Convention on Biological Diversity
Our committee, formed of young people from across the UK, is working hard to establish this group and are looking forward to a future of an inclusive biodiversity sector, where young people are valued stakeholders.

Our Work
Over the last 1.5 years, we have achieved a great deal! Check out some of our current and past work below:
We are currently running a survey to ask young people...
"What do you want to see for the future of nature in the UK? "
Based on our previous workshops, we'd like to hear your thoughts on the priorities for the future of nature - click here - to fill out the survey!
COP16
GYBN UK sent 5 young people to COP16 in Cali, Colombia in Oct 2024. Over on our socials we've been helping to demystify the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) and the Conference of the Parties (COP) in the lead up too and during COP16. Go check them out for bitesize explanations and signposting to further info!
"Young people are going to inherit the earth, they should not only be heard, but an active participant in decision making. GYBN UK are a remarkable group of passionate and knowledgeable young people ensuring exactly that. What they have been able to accomplish in their first 6months is extraordinary. They are not only the leaders of tomorrow, but today."
