Empowers youth in global efforts to end plastic pollution through treaty negotiations and youth-led action.
YPAN keeps youth advocates close to treaty moments, consultations, stakeholder events, and youth-led actions connected to ending plastic pollution.
The network coordinates youth participation in plastic governance, with emphasis on the INC process, future treaty implementation, submissions, and shared advocacy positions.
Our signature capacity-building initiative has trained over 10,000 young people on multilateral environmental agreements and youth engagement in environmental governance. The bootcamp equips youth with knowledge of international environmental law, treaty processes, and practical advocacy skills.
