SYSTEMS CHANGE
UKYCC's Systems Change working group aims to tackle the root causes of climate crisis. We recognise that environmental justice is inseparable from social and economic justice - in the UK and around the world - and our goal is to imagine and build a fairer future, by radically transforming systems of power.
Systems Change Statement
We've developed a workshop which explores the deep, systemic nature of climate crisis. Our 'Systems Change Game' is designed to encourage participants to think about the systems that shape our daily lives. By the end, players feel more confident thinking about the climate crisis from a ‘systems’ perspective.
​
If you'd like to invite UKYCC to run a Systems Change Game at an event, please do not hesitate to get in touch.

Public Money for Common Good
The UK government spends around £1.2 trillion each year, and a significant portion of this public money is actively contributing to the interconnected crises facing people and planet.
​
From subsidies for polluters and profiteers, to massive spending on military violence and hostile borders, exploitation and private profits are being prioritised over economic, social, and environmental justice.
​
UKYCC is calling on the government to deliver public money for common good, based on the following principles:
​​​​
1. Decision-making frameworks for the common good
​
2. Participatory governance, putting people at the heart of the economy
3. Redistribute wealth and invest in our fuure ​
4. Stop funding genocide, and advance global justice
Systems Change Statement
​Our vision statement on Systems Change aims to identify some of the interconnected challenges driving the climate emergency, before beginning to envision some of the solutions required, drawing inspiration from social movements all around the world.
​
The statement outlines UKYCC's role in this movement, and our responsibility to advance justice for all:
​
1. Promoting the voice of all youth and other marginalised groups
in the world of climate change decision-making.
​
2. Building the capacity of young people and other marginalised
groups to break down barriers to climate justice.
​
3. Identifying and challenging those who stand in the way
of a rapid and just transition.
​
4. Contributing to the development of alternative ideas that can deliver
a more equal, free, and regenerative society.
