ECO-UNESCO’s Youth Voices
Hear from young people who are some of Ireland’s agents of change
The goal of this initiative is to highlight some of our young people’s voices and feelings about the environment.

Environmentalism has a big impact on our world and will impact everyone in the future. Do it. Although it does require effort, it will give you skills that will last you a lifetime. You will meet people who will become your best friends and you will find a space where you can be yourself and share your thoughts

Everyone in ECO-UNESCO is great and very easy to talk to. They make everything so easy to learn, it’s a super fun environment.

I full recommend this course to anyone even if you hate talking to people, as even if you’re less social than others, this allows you to meet new people under a common, relaxing, learning environment
Cian Walsh
Cian is a true inspiration for young people driving climate action both nationally and internationally, he shares his thoughts and vision on how to shape a brighter, more sustainable future.
Cian has been involved with ECO-UNESCO through COP'28 and the Young Environmentalist Awards programme. He advocates for climate action, to develop a sense of commitment and responsibility to reverse the effects of the biodiversity and climate emergency.
We asked young people what they care about.
