Our2030

Funded in part by the Government of Canada, Our2030 was a series of labs run by Youth Climate Lab during March and April of 2019. It consisted of six events across Ottawa, Toronto, Montreal and Vancouver to engage youth in SDG action while building key skills for the future, namely collaboration, critical thinking, and communication. 

Our2030 reached over 40,000 people through online channels, and brought together more than 240 diverse youth to participate in three new models of “radical collaboration” for the SDGs: Policy Jams, Research Studios, and Pop-Up Labs. The raw energy in these spaces was palpable; youth are ready - and are needed - to disrupt the status quo in policy, entrepreneurship, and research, among other sectors. We worked to harness the creativity, inclusivity, and sense of urgency of young Canadians into the co-creation of solutions and recommendations for the 2030 Agenda National Strategy.
