«People who go to the North, to the Arctic with a glint in their eyes, with the energy of youth, with optimism, with a culture of optimism, they are certainly more successful than their peers who stay. Because career opportunities in the North, in the Arctic, are many times greater. This was the case in Soviet times, and it remains the case today».

Youth Eco Forum is a regular ecological-educational event held by the Northern Forum since 2001. The event is an opportunity for the NF member region school students to meet fellows from the other regions, have a good time and share experience of ecological problems from their home lands. Focus topics are climate change, raising public awareness of eco issues, urban ecology and so on. Topics change for every new Forum event.

The Forum participants tend to carry on relationships started on the Forum through social networks; and those who choose eco-oriented profession, carry on cooperation in future as well. The Forums are held practically every year for the last decade – with last one being held in Yukon (Whitehorse) in 2012 on topic of “Climate Change and Creating Balance”.

Youth Eco Forum 2014 was held in Yakutsk, Sakha Republic (Yakutia) and was dedicated to problems of the Northern cities. Follow the link to learn more.
