Our History

Swiss Youth for Climate was established in 2015 by Océane Dayer when she realized that there was a dearth of youth organizations in Switzerland devoted to engaging young people in climate politics. The organization quickly gained popularity in Switzerland and abroad and built an extensive network of regional groups in various Swiss cities. Its main activities are conducting national political projects and participating in international climate negotiations.
