Latest From GYEM
We believe that empowering people with the knowledge and tools to take action in their communities can make a big impact.
The Ghana Youth Environmental Movement (GYEM) is a youth-led environmental group in Ghana.
GYEM exists to mobilise and empower youth between the ages of 15-35 years to protect the environment and advocate for sustainable futures.
We do this through education and youth engagement, policy advocacy, campaigning, and driving local action relevant to global challenges.
With justice at the heart of our work, we are passionate about providing solutions to climate change, nature loss, and improving the well-being of the most vulnerable people in our communities.
