Once again in August, Åland, the islands of peace, will unite over a hundred young people from all over the Nordic and Baltic Sea region, all determined to work together in order to achieve a brighter future.

ReGeneration Week, a yearly climate summit held in Mariehamn is the biggest youth sustainability event in the region. It is packed full of workshops led by young climate activists carefully selected to best share their knowledge and experience with the participants.

“People really do matter! When you get to surround yourself with such a kind and diverse group of youth on ReGeneration Week, it's the type of boost all of us need to sustain our spirits to take climate action. Meet people who care and dare to be curious, it's surprisingly fun and fulfilling!” - Lennie Jansson, attendee for the fifth time this summer and Vice Chairperson of ReGeneration 2030.

This year, the participants of ReGeneration Week will also have the opportunity to speak to the politicians and policymakers attending the Baltic Sea Parliamentary Conference. Together, the youth and politicians will discuss the pressing issues we are facing and strategise the action to lead the change into a sustainable future. 

“We are honoured to be hosting our annual intergenerational dialogues together with the BSPC. It’s a moment to bridge the gap between generations and an opportunity that young people very rarely get.” - Alva Danielsson, ReGeneration 2030’s Movement Coordinator.

This year’s theme of ReGeneration Week is Safety Beyond Borders. With the uncertainty of what may happen in the future looming over all of our heads, we have decided against sitting idle. We are all too aware of the dangers that climate change and power-grabbing politicians are stirring up. There is no place on our planet that has not suffered from them - and those who have caused the least damage take the brunt of it. 

“Our generation is under attack. Democracies are weakening, wars are escalating, and ecosystems are collapsing - leaving us vulnerable on every level. We come together to confront these intersecting crises, fostering hope and resilience among youth in the Baltic Sea region. Through collective action and strategy, we fight for lasting security - for ourselves, our communities, and our environment”  -  Jonas Blendl, Board member of ReGeneration 2030.

We want to not only understand what we are facing but be prepared to stand up against it. The workshops and panel discussions for this year’s ReGeneration Week have been chosen by the youth of our region to best equip us for bold climate action.

ReGeneration 2030 is a climate organisation run by the youth of the Nordic and Baltic Sea region coming from diverse backgrounds, all united in a common goal. We want to build youth power in our region and provide each other with the tools to push for a just sustainable transformation by 2030 and a better future for those who will come after us.

Join us for ReGeneration Week 2025 and become part of the change!

ReGeneration Week 2025 is organised in cooperation with the Baltic Sea Parliamentary Conference and the Baltic Sea Region Youth Forum.
