Green Action Week is more than an annual campaign. It is a growing global community of practice rooted in sharing, collaboration and practical action. Together we strengthen sustainable consumption through peer learning, storytelling and cross-country exchange. Explore our Community of Practice Knowledge Exchanges and our online Youth Programme for 2026.

Youth Voices 2026: From Self to System
Green Action Week Youth creates a practical space for young people to pause, connect and learn across regions. It centres lived experience, practical examples and honest reflection. The 2026 journey follows a simple arc – individual choices, collective action and reflection. This programme is led by youth, for youth. It includes public webinars open to all and facilitated dialogues for young people aged 18 to 30.
1) Alternative Ways of Being
This theme explores how young people are navigating everyday life in ways that are values-led, sustainable and grounded in different contexts. It focuses on individual habits and trade-offs, realistic examples of alternative ways of living and wellbeing and dignity over perfection.
