Established in 2020, the YCA is a democratic and youth-led initiative supported by Welsh Centre for International Affairs (WCIA) in partnership with Size of Wales. YCA members come from all corners of the country.
The YCA works closely with Welsh Government and the Senedd to represent youth voices at the highest levels of Welsh politics. They also work with the Future Generations Commissioner for Wales, local government, schools, businesses and Non-Governmental Organisations.
The Youth Climate Ambassadors’ priority campaigns have been:
- Campaigning for the recognition of climate refugees
- Supporting Indigenous Peoples and nations.
- Raising awareness about biodiversity among young people in Wales.
