Climate collapse is intensifying. In 2026, we lived through the hottest summer of our lives - yet. And that’s why 19 young people stepped up this year to fight back through the Catalysts for Change programme 2026. The work started before the year began, when seven members of the Catalysts for Change Working Group met every two weeks to plan each detail of the programme. We know that the change we need is huge and systematic; it won’t be easy. But we were inspired by generatio

ReGeneration Week 2026 gathered 80 young people in Mariehamn, Åland, in the beginning of August. Here is what went down. As we planned this climate camp, we said that together, we wanted to map out where power lies, who we can count on for support, and strategically chart a path to a future worth fighting for. In the end, we hosted 22 sessions where young organisers and activists from all around the region shared their knowledge and skills in everything from unions and workpl

Just building new green energy infrastructure is not enough, we have to phase out fossil fuels. This entails the blatant - not constructing any new fossil fuel infrastructure - and the abstract – turning the tables of power giving authority to voices drowning in the noise of pollution. To be clear, the scope of consequence from continuing this parade, as is, will bring total collapse to life as we know it. Though, it is easy for us to become numb to this sort of scale, as it

ReGeneration 2030's position on why building people power is our generation’s only way forward Our generation has spent a decade asking the people in power to “listen to the science”. It’s becoming increasingly clear that it isn’t individuals not understanding what the problem is, but those on top, feeding the fire the fossil fuel industry keeps burning, who are unable to stop tearing down our future. That means we need to build power in ordinary people in order to demand cha

During ReGeneration Week 2025, we had a chance to speak with current organisation members Emma and Gaute, who shared insights about projects and campaigns of Natur og Ungdom today. The interview was conducted in August 2025. From your point of view as a current generation of Natur og Ungdom activists,

Russia’s war in Ukraine, US threats to take over Greenland, and a rising need for critical earth minerals to power the green transition are fueling a huge international interest in mining in Greenland. Can Greenland power a just green transition? Or will it fall prey to colonial extractivism? Keira Dignan reports from the Nordic Circular Summit in Nuuk, Greenland. Last week, I sloshed across a rocky beach on the edge of Nuuk, Greenland’s capital. As the rain lashed at my fac

What went down at ReGeneration Week 2025? Youth at ReGeneration Week talk to politicians at the Baltic Sea Parliamentary Forum. Phoot credit Ugne Budiunaite/ReGeneration 2030 As young people, we have grown up amongst escalating environmental crises, witnessing disasters that threaten our security and cast into doubt our dreams of a future we can flourish in. But we refuse to be bystanders. Between the 22nd and 26th August 2025, 126 young people from around the Nordic and Bal

We often look at climate change-related issues through political and social lenses, forgetting about one very important dimension: is all of this destruction of the environment even allowed by law? This is the question that activists from Fridays For Future (FFF) Estonia posed when they went to court to fight
