Young people across Europe are concerned about the ecological future of their continent as well as the entire planet. Due to the daily encounter with growing environmental problems, awareness is growing, but also the need of young people to fix these problems and to provide a green future for young people.This is also shown by research that says that more and more young people are facing climate and environmental anxiety. This fear stems from the feeling that we have lost or are on the way to losing something big and important, due to environmental degradation and climate change. Yet young people across Europe are not passive.

The awareness-raising campaign on environmental issues is the result of the work of young people from Serbia, Croatia, Montenegro, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Slovakia, Slovenia, the Czech Republic, Austria, Moldova and Romania who participated in the "50 Ideas for Europe", competition especially awarded in the field of Eco-friendly Europe, which were the basis of this publication. Without their creative and innovative ideas as well as initiated changes at the local, national, regional and European level, this analysis, ie. publication would not be possible.

The publication was created through the project "50 ideas for Europe: New leaders, New Opportunities" which is realized by the Belgrade Open School with the support of the Novi Sad – European Youth Capital 2019 (OPENS).
