One Target. Your Name On It.
You are 14 or over. All 169 targets were agreed by governments in 2015, when you were three years old or younger. Nobody asked you then. Choose the one you will answer for now.
Your Briefing
Choose one target connected to your life or your community
Act on it, alone or with others
Record what changed, and put your name on it
Age Pathways: Three Levels
The Youth Ambassadors Framework is designed exclusively for young people aged 14–16+ and reflects growth, to support participants combat climate change, and become young advocates of sustainability:
Age 14: Act Local. Volunteer. Learn a skill. Know your area.
Age 15: Build Together. Run a project that links your school or community to a real problem.
Age 16 And Over: Lead. Run the project. Mentor others. Complete a community placement.
Each stage connects directly to the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), showing how local action can create global impact.
First Move
A short film, a survey, a podcast, a campaign, an event. Do it. Log it. Share it.
Learn The Rules. Then Rewrite Them.
How community rules are made, who they serve, and how young people have changed them. You’ll explore:
Community rules and fairness
Real stories of climate and justice
How young people can influence decision-making
Your Record
Three Certifier badges: Selected, Activated, Verified. They go on your CV, your portfolio and your university application.
Visibility Layer: Your Voice, Your Way
Once you’ve acted, share it so others can learn, care, or join in. That could be a short post, a display, a short video, or a simple presentation.
Visibility is about connection, helping to spark more action.
Your Kit
You’ll get tools that help you act, without taking away your voice.
The SDG Target Selector, Traffic Light Toolkit, Impact Index
Story and action prompt cards
Project trackers and story templates
Pulse tools
Teachers and youth workers back you up. You lead.
Why Now?
Young people are already doing the work; speaking up, stepping in, showing up for others. But too often, it goes unnoticed or unsupported.
In 2030 You Will Be 18 To 20. The Deadline Is Yours.

Turn your action into impact.
You don’t need to be older. You need to be bolder. So, speak up, show up, and start something that matters.
