The Global Youth Biodiversity Network
Sobre GYBN
La Red Global de Jóvenes por la Biodiversidad (GYBN) es una red internacional de 340 organizaciones juveniles, que representa a más de 680,000 jóvenes de 145 países cuyo objetivo común es prevenir la pérdida de biodiversidad. GYBN representa la voz de la juventud mundial en las negociaciones del Convenio de Diversidad Biológica (CDB), crea conciencia entre los jóvenes sobre los valores de la biodiversidad y conecta a individuos y organizaciones juveniles para construir una coalición global para detener la pérdida de biodiversidad. .
Como plataforma oficial de coordinación para la participación juvenil en las negociaciones bajo el CDB, GYBN se compromete a incorporar las opiniones y posiciones de los jóvenes en el proceso político, capacitando a los jóvenes para que tomen medidas. Reconocido y apoyado por la Secretaría del CDB, GYBN busca inspirar a la juventud global y a los futuros líderes a trabajar por el uso sostenible y la conservación de la biodiversidad para un medio ambiente y una sociedad saludables.
GYBN fue creado como resultado de una iniciativa internacional de jóvenes que participaron en CBD COP10 en 2010, y se estableció oficialmente en 2012.
La red está coordinada por un comité directivo internacional y está completamente dirigida por jóvenes para jóvenes.

Our heart is clear on what
REALLY MATTERS
Values & principles



Our hands are
READY TO GET DIRTY

Activities that foster partnerships and collaborations, enhancing and amplifying young people's messages and transformative actions
Strong peer-to-peer capacity building programmes that facilitates and enable the empowerment of young people through skill and knowledge building
Youth advocacy based on messages gathered through collective consultations, that are presented and shared, reaching key decision-making processes at the international and national levels.
Youth-led community building to create a safe and enabling space where like-minded groups of youth share ideas, exchange perspectives, collaborate and co-create activities in their own communities

INTERSECTIONALITY
and cross cutting themes at the core


WHY YOUTH?

"Our generation has seen many of the promises of the Millennium Development Goals, the Aichi Biodiversity Targets, and the Kyoto Protocol fail."
"We need real transformative change - for humankind to realign priorities, values, behaviours, and actions. Youth rise with creativity, will and energy to nurture systems and relationships - equitably and sustainably."
"But for our generation to have hope for a future rooted in peace and harmony with nature, we need unprecedented action. Youth are ready to lead the way - alongside other generations - all we need is the trust and support to work together as we reimagine a world where all life can thrive.”
