Mission & Goals
The Global Youth Biodiversity Network is the officially recognized youth constituency of the Convention for Biological Diversity (CBD). It was founded by several youth organization and individual members during the 10th Conference of the CBD in 2010. However, even before youth organisations were collaborating, which resulted in a first youth conference in 2008, prior to the official launch (2010) and international kick-off (2012). Since then, GYBN has been growing in term of members, activities and recognition. Within the Global Network there are several national or regional chapters connecting the youth to address the local biodiversity issue. One of those regional chapter are we as Global Youth Biodiversity Network Europe (GYBN E, https://gybnweb.wixsite.com/europe). As European Network we are working on different levels in order to maintain, restore and enhance biodiversity and to stop the ongoing biodiversity crisis both within the EU and overall in Europe.
