From these humble beginnings, GYC has flourished into a powerful network connecting over 12,000 young leaders across 178 countries. Our members bring diverse expertise from environmental science and policy to social entrepreneurship and advocacy.

A defining moment in our history was hosting the "Tree of Hope" action in the Blue Zone of COP27, symbolizing our dedication to positive environmental change.
