The Young Climate Collaboration Berlin > learn. claim. act (YCCB) is about coming together and getting involved!
The project aimed to reach out to young international people who want to actively engage in changing local climate politics. The central motto: learn, claim, act – all in collaboration with like-minded people throughout a variety of digital activities and events.
Set up within the framework of the Berlin Energy and Climate Protection Programme 2030, the YCCB focused on relevant fields of action.
By the end of the first half of 2021, the final goal was to develop demands at the Young Climate Conference Berlin in June 2021 and address them to politics at the end of the conference.
The project’s goals at a glance:- LEARN: Practice-oriented communication of topics within the six fields of action of the BEK 2030. Creation of a common knowledge base about current conditions, successes and challenges within Berlin’s local climate context.
- CLAIM: Development of own ideas, questions and needs in order to create a base for the development and formulation of concrete demands (claims).
- ACT: Presentation of a series of claims that are addressed to political decision-makers. Creation of impulses for future engagement and willingness to act.
- Participation: We want to open up a learning and communication platform where young volunteers and experts can discuss current local conditions, successes and challenges within Berlin’s climate field, while developing their own ideas and claims for the future.
- Internationality: The project language being English aims to invite and include international voices and provide a diversity of perspectives in the elaboration of ideas. Also, it facilitates the transfer and multiplication of promising ideas to other national contexts.
- Sustainability: In the sense of a climate-neutral event management, sustainability and CO2 compensation are given a high priority.
