The Australian Youth Climate Coalition’s mission is to build a generation wide movement to solve climate change before it is too late.

We do this through uniting all major youth organisations, and over 50,000 young Australians, to achieve short-term influence and long-term cultural change. Our members and partners coordinate, communicate and network with each other to run shared projects and campaigns to facilitate young Australians taking action to solve the climate crisis in our schools, TAFEs, Universities and communities.

The AYCC is one of Australia’s few examples of an entirely youth-run and youth-led organisation. All AYCC staff, volunteers and steering committee members are under thirty, and the vast majority are under twenty-five. AYCC’s mission, objectives and projects were all developed by, and are re-visited and evaluated by young people including youth in our member and partner groups, our young staff and steering committee, and our teams of young volunteers.

AYCC focuses on both youth empowerment - enabling young people to create opportunities and take on active roles in our communities – and youth development - equipping young people with the knowledge, skills and attitudes required to allow youth to take on more responsibility.
