1. GYBN EUROPE WAVE
The European youth wave happened in March 2022 and GYBN Europe launched its Policy Booklet called Destination 2030! Ten briefs on various topics such as gender, urban biodiversity, freshwater, trade, and much more were written by more than 20 GYBN Europe members and were shared with a wide range of partners and institutions. The aim was to analyze each of these topics, including a case study, and to bring intergenerational equity on the table. GYBN Europe then supported the Open Ended Working Group 3 (OEGW3) of the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) in Geneva, organizing actions, tracking negotiations and so on, together with the GYBN team. These actions were supported by GYBN Austria as well as the Nordic Youth Biodiversity Network, which even organized a side event in Geneva.
