ENABLE – Youth Environmental Forum – Zagreb, Croatia 20.-21.01.2026.

ENABLE Youth Environmental Forum in Croatia

Empowering young voices for climate action and sustainable futures

From 20.-21. January 2026, Zagreb, Croatia, hosted the ENABLE Youth Environmental Forum, bringing together young people from across Europe for an intensive learning and exchange experience focused on climate action, sustainable development, and civic participation. Organised by Association ECHO within the framework of the ENABLE – Empowering Next-Generation Advocates for a Better Environment project, the event created a dynamic and inclusive space for youth to reflect, collaborate, and strengthen their role as agents of change.

The forum gathered 25 young participants from Luxembourg, France, Hungary, Croatia, Italy, Bulgaria and Greece, including young people, students, environmentalists, stakeholders and policymakers.
Over two days, participants engaged in a carefully designed programme combining non-formal education, participatory methodologies, and peer learning, with a strong focus on the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and their connection to everyday life. They gained new skills connected to SDG’s 10 (Reduced Inequalities), 13 (Climate Action), and 15 (Life on Land).
