Our logo has been designed!

Our logo a visual representation of hope, action, and the collective power of youth in the face of global environmental challenges. It integrates symbols that represent the core ideals of youth empowerment and the urgent need for climate action. At its heart, the logo features imagery that conveys growth, resilience, and unity—key components in the battle against climate change. The young tree, symbolizing growth and the potential for change, stands as a testament to the project's focus on nurturing a generation capable of fostering significant environmental impact. Surrounding this are figures of diverse young people, illustrating the project's inclusive approach and the collective action required to address climate challenges.
