ESU Joins First Democratic Youth Constituency for Climate Action

On April 9, 2024, the Organising Bureau of European School Student Unions, in partnership with the Youth Democracy Movement, announced the formation of the first democratic youth constituency for climate action at the Enniscorthy Forum in County Wexford, Ireland. As a founding member, the European Students’ Union joined the constituency alongside the Irish Second-Level Students’ Union, Union of Students in Ireland, and Global Student Forum. 

Tanguy Guibert, vice president of the European Students’ Union, remarks, “The European Students’ Union is proud to join the first democratic youth constituency for climate action, and elevate the voices of European students—from Portugal in the West to Ukraine in the East, and from Sweden in the North to Italy in the South—in the climate space. Democratic organization is key to maintaining political will, and implementing sustainable policies throughout the region.”
