About the AYCC

The Australian Youth Climate Coalition’s mission is to build a generation-wide movement to solve the climate crisis, through uniting diverse youth organisations around this common challenge.

Through our member groups, we inspire, educate, empower and mobilise young Australians to take action on climate change. We coordinate, communicate and network with each other, and run shared projects and campaigns.
