The Responsive Youth for Climate Action (RYCA) project brought together hundreds of young people from Italy, Germany, Spain, Bulgaria, and Lithuania to shape the future of Europe’s climate policies. Through local eco-initiatives, international exchanges, and the final European Green Roundtable (EGR) in Berlin, they co-created a shared vision of climate justice and sustainability.

This document captures their priorities and proposals — the result of two years of youth consultations, peer learning, and collective action. It is more than a report: it is a youth-driven roadmap for Europe’s green transition, calling on decision-makers to act with urgency, transparency, and fairness.
