Our Story
Founded in 2018 by university students and young professionals in Vâlcea, our association is dedicated to raising awareness about the fight against climate change and contributing to ongoing environmental efforts. We believe that the health of our planet is intrinsically linked to the well-being of its inhabitants, and we are committed to protecting and preserving nature through education, activism, and policy advocacy.
Our Mission & Vision
The global climate crisis is one of the most pressing challenges of our time. Rapid technological advancements, industrialization, deforestation, and pollution have accelerated climate change at an alarming rate, leading to environmental disasters and long-term consequences for future generations.
Our mission is to bridge the gap between human activities and environmental sustainability. We aim to inspire individuals, particularly young people, to embrace an eco-friendly lifestyle, develop policies that support sustainability, and work collectively to prevent further environmental degradation. Our vision is a world where humans and nature coexist harmoniously, ensuring a sustainable and just future for all.
Our Members
