Four Pillars. One Mission. A Greener Ghana.

SYND's work sits at the intersection of research, advocacy, and youth empowerment driving climate solutions that are evidence-based, community-rooted, and government-facing.

Youth Climate & NRE Convening Hub

Youth Climate & NRE Convening Hub

We conduct in-depth research on climate and environmental policies from the youth perspective, providing evidence-based advocacy support on key international and national issues. Our work spans critical areas including UNFCCC negotiations, the REDD+ programme, the Green Climate Fund (GCF), and other climate finance mechanisms, as well as Biodiversity conservation and Renewable Energy.

Youth in Natural Resources & Environmental Governance (Youth-NREG) Platform

Youth in Natural Resources & Environmental Governance (Youth-NREG) Platform

SYND is the convener of the Youth in Natural Resources and Environmental Governance (Youth-NREG) Platform — a space dedicated to knowledge sharing and learning among young people working on environmental action. The platform creates opportunities for joint advocacy, bringing Ghana's youth together in a concerted and impactful way.

Young Green & Sustainability Entrepreneurs Consortium (YoGSEC)

Young Green & Sustainability Entrepreneurs Consortium (YoGSEC)

SYND runs campaigns to inform and educate the public on prevailing issues across our four program areas to drive positive change. We utilise various communication channels — social media platforms, traditional media outlets, and community engagement — to effectively disseminate accurate and insightful knowledge about the issues at hand, raising awareness while empowering individuals to act.

Media & Communications

Media & Communications

We are establishing communication and visibility channels on social media including YouTube (SYND TV) and Podcast. This is a strategic amplifier in showcasing youth governance impact, elevating environmental justice stories, and influencing public discourse. This will further strengthen the mission of SYND.
