Green Youth Service

To avoid the most devastating impacts of global warming, greenhouse gas emissions must start declining this decade, and by 2050 be 80 percent below their 1990 level.

Achieving this goal will require a vast citizen mobilization to shift our economies and our lifestyles towards greater sustainability.

Through this initiative, ICP is working to:

Gather information about existing scalable models that apply youth service as a strategy to reducing greenhouse gas emissions either directly or through educational activities, and;
Incubate promising approaches that apply national service or service-learning to combating global warming.
