Government to create new Youth Climate and Nature panel
The Government is creating a new Youth Climate and Nature Panel to put the voices of younger people at the heart of climate and nature policies. Find out how to apply if you are aged 16 to 25.
The Youth Climate and Nature Panel is a new initiative from the Department for Energy Security and Net Zero (DESNZ) putting young people’s voices at the heart of climate and nature policy.
They are looking for passionate young people from across the UK who want to help shape the future of climate and nature policy, share their views, and inspire wider action.
The panel will bring together young people aged 16 to 25 from across the UK, representing a wide range of backgrounds, experiences and perspectives to:
- provide insight and advice to government on climate and nature policies
- support better engagement with young people
- strengthen collaboration between different generations on climate and nature issues
- help amplify youth voices and action across the UK
The Government is calling on young people based across the UK aged 16 to 18 to send in applications for this exciting opportunity. They will select 15 young people to be part of the government’s first Youth Climate and Nature panel.
The deadline for applications is Friday 11 September 2026.
