The International Military Council on Climate and Security (IMCCS) with support from the U.S. Mission to NATO called upon young people across the Arctic, the Mediterranean, Eastern Europe, and beyond to share their personal stories about the impacts of climate change in their communities for the Climate Security in My Backyard project.
These young leaders submitted videos showcasing their personal climate security stories, participated in workshops, and a handful were selected to represent the Young Leaders Network at the 2023 NATO Public Forum. For more information about this project, visit the project homepage.
Watch the webinar “Climate Security in NATO’s Backyard.”
Watch the project featured onstage at the 2023 NATO Youth Summit.
