ATEHA Youth Caucus: Empowering Young People to Lead, Innovate, and Create Change
Young people aged 18–35 are not only the leaders of tomorrow, they are change agents today. Their ideas, creativity, skills, and voices are essential to building healthier communities and a safer, more sustainable environment.
The ATEHA Youth Caucus brings together young people who are passionate about environmental health, toxic chemicals, pollution, climate change, technology, innovation, and sustainable development. The Caucus provides a platform for young people to learn, connect, share ideas, advocate, and take action on issues affecting people and the environment.
We believe that youth leadership, technology, and innovation can help create practical solutions to environmental challenges. Through the Youth Caucus, young people are encouraged to use their knowledge, skills, and creativity to raise awareness, influence decision-making, and promote healthier and more sustainable communities.
