Nature-Based Solutions Youth Consultation Survey

Takes 7+ minutes

The Global Youth Biodiversity Network, YOUNGO, and Youth4Nature are teaming up to develop a unified Youth Position Statement on “Nature-based Solutions”, in order to make sure that the youth voice is heard within the growing Nature-based Solutions (NbS) discussion that is currently happening largely without us. The results from this survey will contribute to this final statement, in order to better capture the views of young people around the world.

This survey is important because it will help us to support youth in their nature and climate advocacy efforts that align with justice and systemic change, to further connect youth across biodiversity and climate movements, and to help us create spaces for ourselves within global nature and climate decision-making. This work will also push the newly popular concept of Nature-Based Solutions in a direction that works for people and for nature. Your voice is critical!

There are two parts to this survey:
1. Part one has eight questions that all respondents will fill out.
2. Part two includes an optional six questions that are more technical.

Part one will take you an estimated 10 minutes to complete.

We recommend taking a moment to read through some of the resources about NbS that we have compiled on our website, before completing the survey. Our NbS Information Brief is specifically designed to provide accessible information about NbS for young people - we encourage giving it a look!
