«The future of the regions directly depends on climate change. This must be taken into account when planning the socio-economic development of territories. This approach is also confirmed in the updated Climate Doctrine of the Russian Federation».

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.
