Youth goes green.
Do you think green?
Climate change, scarcity of resources, eco destruction, are some of the challenges which we face every day.
Youthinkgreen aims to educate the youth from all over the world on these sustainable and environmental challenges.
You think green - former known as jugend denkt um um.welt - serves as an international exchange and knowledge platform for young people.
We strive to open eyes for living conditions in developing, emerging and industrial countries and our main goal is the development of sustainable projects to combat climate change.
Former German Chancellor Dr. Angela Merkel; the executive secretary of the UNFCCC, Christiana Figures as well as the former president and member of the European Parliament, Dr. Hans - Gert Pöttering are patrons of our project.

In the sustainable compendium "Tree of Hope" young people report on their actions for a better world. 80 well known experts, for example Prof. Dr. Schellnhuber, Dr. Auma Obama and Prof. Dr. Weizsäcker, illuminate the current discourse of the climate policy.

The pupils and students of youthinkgreen are  developing ideas for sustainable water usage, installing solar systems or initiating a project to avoid plastic bags.
Tasks are formulated in each chapter and useful questions are asked-tried-tested and implemented.
Each step is explained as a continuous column “knowledge - underestand - act!”.

Attached are a DVD, a documentary film and 5 environmental spots, created by youthinkgreeners.

In the past, we had more than 200 climate ambassadors who were active in 31 countries with one goal; Saving earth!

Previous actions:

Foreword by Dr. Angela Merkel, former Chancellor of the Federal Republic of Germany, for the
book “Treeof Hope”:
The belief that a great deal can be achieved with limited resources is also a guiding principle behind the youth initiative youthinkgreen - jugend denkt um.welt.
For some years now, this initiative promotes greater sustainability and environmental awareness. Its work is based on a simple concept: bringing together children and young people. They develop their own ideas, proposals and strategies and then work together to put them into reality. The Tree of Hope book is an impressive record of these activities.
The contributions present diverse analyses, ideas for solutions and pioneering
projects. They send positive signals for the commitment of today's young generation to act now for generations to come.
