What we do

ReGeneration Week

ReGeneration 2030’s main project is ReGeneration Week - the annual sustainability festival held in August. We get together in Åland, Finland to learn, share knowledge and strategise for the year ahead.

Catalysts for Change

We also are holding an online educational programme Catalysts for Change and educating new motivated activists on the main drivers of climate change as well as the basics of system change and activism.

Our core partners

Nordic Youth Biodiversity Network (NYBN) partner of ReGeneration 2030

Why 2030?

2030 is humanity’s deadline to keep global warming under 1.5c, the target set by the Paris climate accords. It doesn't sound like a lot, but it could be a make or break for humanity’s survival.

Right now, our region’s sustainability plans aren’t on track to hit the 2030 target. That’s why we, the region’s youth, are fighting for sustainable change right now, so we can fight global warming and keep our region inhabitable for all. It really is the fight of our lives.

Over the last two weeks, Pola Zabuska, participant of the Catalyst for Change 2025, had a chance to participate in the CBSS Youth Ministerial in Tallinn and the CBBS Ministerial in Vihula 🇪🇪

During the first event, the group of 20 young people from across the Baltic Sea Region was able to participate in workshops on the following topics:

📱Dangers to democracy: Youth digitalisation and radicalisation

🙋‍♀Digital participation and youth accessibility in democratic processes

🚨Participation in civic security as a norm

A week after that, on May 16, Pola along with Kaarel Taimla from the Estonian Youth Council, had a chance to present the recommendations we worked on during the workshops to the Ministers and High-Representatives of the CBSS countries 🌊

For further details on the Youth Position Paper, check out the cbss.org/youth website

P.S.: See the last photo to get to know what creative eco solutions the Estonian organisers implemented 🌿

Today is the International Workers' Day ✊🌹

For a proper sustainable transformation, we need to ensure that everyone is included and nobody is left behind when we move on from polluting industries. Workers' rights have to continue to improve, and everyone's voices should be heard.

We, at ReGeneration 2030, support workers’ right to organise and, through both words and actions, show solidarity with unions both in our region and in the regions exporting goods to us.

⚡We need the transformation to be just⚡

#internationalworkersday

How to build People Power?✊💥

People power is the quiet hum of a community coming alive. It’s the spark that ignites when ordinary individuals - like you and me - decide to stand together, to dream together, to fight together. It’s the force behind every great movement in history, from the civil rights marches to the climate strikes. It’s the collective strength of voices rising, hands joining, and hearts beating as one. 💚

We stand for stronger youth empowerment and climate literacy in our education system! 🌍✏️💚

A big part of the Catalysts for Change programme is 🌟participants' projects in their local communities🌟 During individual or group actions everyone gets to test out the knowledge and skills they have absorbed during the course IRL.

One motivated participant of #CFC24 course took on an ambitious task to create a youth activist group in a small town, where climate action wasn’t present before.

While trying out different tactics and strategies from the course, they successfully laid the foundation for the climate group to flourish. 🔥

⚒️ #CFC25 is here to help you break barriers and equip you with a practical toolset for exciting projects!

#OurRegionOurFuture

🇺🇦 Ukraine Solidarity Project and Fridays For Future Ukraine are calling for a Digital Day of Action, bringing together climate and environmental movements and Ukraine solidarity collectives across Europe, to spotlight the human and environmental costs of Russia’s shadow fleet of ageing, poorly maintained ships transporting oil across European waters going unsanctioned.

The new sanctions package targeting the Russian shadow fleet unveiled by the European Union on 16th December is insufficient and gives the terrorist state more time to invest into growing its illegal fleet. We must call for urgent sanctions on every single oil tanker.

ReGeneration 2030 strongly stands in solidarity with climate, environmental, and Ukraine solidarity movements in a fight against the violent regime. We believe in a united and democratic youth movement to push for a just sustainable transformation by 2030. ✊🌍

How can we fight for a sustainable future we all deserve?✊⚡

The climate crisis is deeply connected to social injustice, and the concept of exploitation of our planet goes further back than just burning fossil fuels. Yet this crisis is often reduced to a matter of energy sources or transportation means in the public debate.

To fight the proper fight, we need to know what we are up against. Relearning the history and root causes of the climate crisis, while simultaneously capacity building for the most effective actions against climate collapse - that is how we build solidarity to reclaim the sustainable future for all. 🌱🌍

Are you attending the @nbyouthsummit? Meet us on Friday, the 27th of September at 14:00 to Rethink and Reimagine the system and strategise to Reclaim it fast enough. Or catch us during the days of the event to chat!

Change is coming - and it is youth-led!🚀 Are you ready to join?

After a year-long break from her position and focusing on finishing her degree, our amazing Secretary-General Keira is back in her role! Keira has successfully led and grown the organisation in 2022-2023 and now is back in full force! ⚡

With this, we’re very excited that Ugnė, who has been working as the Acting Secretary-General this past year is staying a part of the team as the Project Coordinator! 🤩 From now on Ugnė will mainly focus on the programming of RGW, communications and advocacy.

So, the secretariat is starting the fall season as a powerful team of 4 committed and passionate individuals!🚀

Wondering what’s coming up for us in the autumn? Stay tuned, more updates are coming soon!🍂

The chapter of #ReGenerationWeek2024 is closing! ⚡

Thank you all for coming, volunteering, and bringing the best out of ReGeneration Week 2024 through your inspiring discussions, talks, thoughts, and initiatives.

The core team is slowly getting back on track, and we’ll soon share more about what’s in the future for ReGeneration 2030 and all of us together!

Once again, thank you from the bottom of our hearts for joining the festival, Rethinking the system, and Reimagining the future together. After meeting all of you, we have no doubts that together we are the youth who will Reclaim the future that belongs to us with force 🔥
