Kurdistan Environmental Youth
Bringing Kurdish people together to make a sustainable impact on the environment.
Who We Are & What We Do
The idea of gathering a group of Kurdish youth with a passion to protect the environment was born at the Conference of Youth (COY) in 2021. We represent Kurdish youth who want to make a positive impact in their community and educate others about sustainability. We provide a network and tools for other youth to continue their journey towards a more sustainable region. Through workshops, collaborations, partnerships, funds and networking events, we hope to inspire youth to make a difference.
