YCP Toolbox | THE CIVICS Innovation Hub | pan-European NGO

TOOLBOX

#OurFutureEurope

Together with the Young Climate Professionals, we have built up a data basis in the form of a Toolbox, collecting materials on green literacy to share with our peer groups. We aim to offer a variety of readings, podcasts, videos, and sources for funding as well as links to benchmarking projects. This Toolbox is being expanded upon as we continue to work together and learn from each other beginning with our first YCP cohort from 2022/23 and beyond.
