The power of investing in youth-led solutions
What would the story look like, if we embraced the best of what already exists? Many of the solutions to the global climate crisis are out there right now, being led by young people in every community, corner, and forum around the world. In the last 12 months, YMCA’s flagship Youth-Led Solutions initiative has invested some $175,000 into these very ideas, with demonstrable impact already. Young people are demanding accountability and taking action - how do we continue to elevate their revolution?

Downstairs: Creating youth-led solutions, with YMCA
Join YMCA for an exclusive in-person only event in the heart of Glasgow, for a unique chance to preview YMCA’s “Creating Youth-Led Solutions” documentary-style film prior to its sold out global premiere, that will take place as part of COP26’s Green Zone programme later in the week.
Join YMCA for a journey across the world as we hear from young people on every continent who are leading the charge on innovative solution to address the climate crisis.
After the screening, singer-songwriter Rhys Lewis will be joined in conversation alongside YMCA Ambassadors from across the world featured in the documentary, before a unique COP26 special live performance.
In this short film, hear from young people installing vermicomposting and tackling electronic waste in Hawaii; see their work in Peru where addressing poor sanitation and inorganic waste has led to addressing income inequity; witness a cross-cultural collaboration between young people in Albay, Philippines and Michigan, USA to train a new generation of eco-leaders; learn about community-led reforestation in the Western Balkan forests of Kosovo; watch as young people create micro-green spaces across Ramallah, Palestine; and discover how curriculum-based climate art projects are utilising up-cycled waste in schools in Zambia.

Rhys Lewis
Born in Oxfordshire in 1993, singer-songwriter Rhys Lewis found early inspiration in guitar legends such as Jimi Hendrix, Led Zeppelin and James Taylor, picking up the instrument after seeing his own dad play the blues.
Lewis writes songs about a variety of aspects of his life. In Things I Chose to Remember, the topics that he writes about include the portrayal of men in the media, mental health and his own experiences with relationships. Many of his songs are about heartbreak, including "When Was The Last Time", "Be Your Man" and "Hurting". He says that he finds his song "No Right To Love You" difficult to perform because it also dealt with a personal heartbreak, "I suppose the song is a bit of a trigger for lots of memories and emotions of the breakup…every so often it really hits me again, and the emotion of the song comes flooding back."
