Youth and Local Authorities together for Climate and Gender Justice!
Coordinator: Tuscany Region, Italy

"Ecoality: Youth and Local Authorities together for Climate and Gender Justice!" is a European project, funded by the European Commission, which aims to help increase awareness and a sense of co-responsibility among European citizens regarding individual and collective behavior in the face of the interdependence and intersectionality of ecological crises. It aims to mobilize more young people to commit to global challenges and to strengthen their cooperation with local authorities, in order to raise awareness of the urgency and shared responsibility of taking collective action to support and promote Climate and Gender Justice.
